Radiation exists in many forms, from harsh UV rays in one's day to day life, to radioactive decay produced by fission products in nuclear reactors, to high energy particles generated by stars in other galaxies. This radiation can be harmful to humans and manmade systems, but is also critical to understand and engineer around in order to harness energy reliably, explore deep space, and live meaningful lives. 

We engineer solutions using materials tailored to detect radiological events while also surviving the energy they impart during interaction.

We expect electronics to survive in conditions which life cannot. However, there are environments found in space and on earth for which conventional electronics are not suited. Whether it is due to harsh thermal, chemical, or pressure conditions, or because the traditional means for mitigating the effects of these conditions cannot be employed. 

Our NASA-funded Technology Transfer project, "3D Printed Electronics with Material Properties Engineered for Cold Survivability", under NASA contract 80NSSC24PB230 addresses the critical need for electronics to survive the extreme cold environment found in space, enabling future mission concepts and survival of manmade systems during the harsh lunar night.

This project is not limited to applications in space, and we are currently identifying new industries into which this technology can be expanded. If your field demands the use of electronic equipment in harsh environments, we would greatly appreciate your time to learn about the activities and needs of your role / organization.
