Our research has been a game-changer in materials science, leading to breakthroughs applied in crucial areas such as aerospace, cars, energy, defense, and healthcare. We've focused on developing strong yet lightweight materials, significantly improving functionality while prioritizing environmental sustainability. Our specialty lies in creating materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions, with a keen attention to their structural composition and response to stress. This focus enables us to tailor materials for specific engineering purposes, resulting in innovations that not only save lives but also contribute to environmental well-being.

Dedicated to crafting materials that are effective and environmentally friendly, our notable projects include enhancing armored vehicles for General Dynamics Land Systems and Defence Research and Development Canada. Our emphasis is on creating lighter vehicles and advanced body armor. In the aerospace sector, we play a key role in developing new materials for Aeroflux's aircraft brakes, contributing to lighter and more efficient components. Our work with Magna Closures in the automotive field, such as creating new car door latches, reflects our commitment to making cars more efficient and safer.

Our research extends to health science, particularly in understanding and predicting neck injuries resulting from car crashes. This contribution has led to the development of realistic human body models by the Global Human Body Models Consortium, improving injury prediction. Additionally, we've been involved in creating materials that mimic brain tissue, a crucial aspect for studying head injuries like concussions and brain damage.

These efforts showcase our strong commitment to developing materials that excel in performance while prioritizing environmental considerations. Our work significantly impacts both theoretical and practical engineering, bridging academic research with real-world applications. With over 60 publications, our contributions span a wide range of areas in materials science and engineering, including health sciences, demonstrating the extent and depth of our impact in the field.
