Our Mission

The DMS lab (Dynamic Materials and Structures Lab)  develops novel structural and metamaterial architectures with extreme and innovative mechanical and dynamic properties. We combine theory, computational modeling, design, and experimentation to advance the frontiers of engineered materials and structures.
