Sustainability Research Directory

Mingwei Chen, PhD, studies the relationship between structure and properties of advanced materials, particularly non-equilibrium and nanostructured materials.

Paulette Clancy, PhD, is known for her work in computational materials processing. She is the associate director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Integrated Structure-Mechanical Modeling and Simulation (CISMMS) and a fellow of the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI).

Uzi (Yury) Dvorkin, PhD., is an associate research professor in the departments of Civil and System Engineering and Electrical Computer and Engineering and a member of the Ralph S. O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute. Using multi-disciplinary methods in engineering, operations research, economics, and policy analysis, Dvorkin develops models and algorithms to assist society in accommodating challenges posed by emerging smart grid technologies, such as intermittent power generation, demand response, storage, smart appliances, and cyber-infrastructure.

Jonah Erlebacher, PhD, is expanding our understanding of materials processing, using variations of dealloying to create ultra-high-strength nanocomposite metals that may survive extreme environments, and discovering next-generation fuel cell catalysts.

Greg Falco, PhD, is known for his research in autonomous mission resilience. He builds cybersecure and trustworthy AI-enabled systems to accomplish high-criticality objectives. Aerospace, public safety, transportation and energy are his primary application domains.
