WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio (AFRL) – Chemical research scientist and a member of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL’s) Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, Dr. Luke Baldwin, is working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to utilize a new synthetic chemistry tool to produce and improve new reactions on carbon derived nanomaterials.
The collaboration between AFRL and MIT is a three-year partnership funded by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)), Basic Research Office (BRO) through the Laboratory University Collaboration Initiative (LUCI). With this fellowship, Baldwin and Co-Principal Investigator, Dr. Christopher Crouse, will initiate collaborative projects with Professor Timothy Swager to propel basic science research on chemical transformations of nanomaterials.
