Williamsburg, Virginia, United States

Nano and Biomaterials Lab, run by Professor Schniepp. Currently researching deeply structured hierarchical materials derived from cultured diatoms and diatom genetic engineering. Routinely manage up to 9 undergraduate students and lab safety.

Thanks to next generation advancements in composite materials design and manufacturing, we can eliminate much of the metal involved in current "ruggedized" military cases with newer hybrid composites. Such composites weigh 30% less than the highest-grade ultralight aluminum alloys, while still being up to 5+ times as strong as steel. These savings are not.
