James Chang, Chief Scientist, US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Headquarters |
| James will discuss two Collaborative Research Alliances (CRA) that are part of the Enterprise for Multiscale Materials (EMM). The EMM is comprised of an in-house Cross-Disciplinary/Multiscale Materials Research Initiative (CMMRI) and two CRAs -- Materials in Extreme Dynamic Environments (MEDE) and Multiscale Multidisciplinary Modeling of Electronic Materials (MSME). ARL envisions these alliances will bring together government, industrial, and academic institutions to address some of the fundamental scientific and technological underpinnings of military defense systems. | |
