Advanced Materials and Energy

The need for advanced materials and energy research emerges from a general shortage of building materials. Researchers at OHIO are working to explore how alternative feedstocks and raw materials can be used to develop advanced building and construction materials. Simultaneously, the success of these innovations require the development of advanced manufacturing techniques, including equipment and tooling, to support the fabrication of the new materials. The researchers in this area work diligently to develop a suite of tools, resources and ideas to reimagine waste and transform it into useful products.
