Resilient infrastructure is essential to progress and sustainable development. At MMLab, we advance self-healing roads from biomass waste. Through supercomputing and multiple collaborations, we convert underutilized biomass waste into solutions for infrastructure needs, particularly in the global south.
Over 11,500 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant wild grains. To meet the growing demand for sustainable food security, agriculture needs innovation. We design nanostructured carbon materials for precision agriculture, developing designer biochars, inspired by the Amazonian Terra Preta, for effective soil remediation.
Developing sustainable energy solutions is critical. We are dedicated to designing biobased materials that can efficiently capture, and store energy, contributing to a more sustainable energy future.
