Gang & Colleagues Win MURI Grant

A team of researchers, led by Oleg Gang, (Columbia Engineering), was awarded a Department of Defense MURI grant on structurally and functionally switchable nanomaterials. The effort will establish platform approaches for creating dynamic 3D nanomaterials and integrating them with molecular-level control circuitry to enable reconfiguration processes governed by chemical, biomolecular, and physical signals. The team includes groups from Columbia University (Oleg Gang and Nanfang Yu), Johns Hopkins University, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Sydney University, Melbourne University, and Swinburne University of Technology.

The anticipated amount is $6.25M with additional $5M for their Australian partners. Professor Gang is leading the effort.
