Vermont Business Magazine Linda Schadler, dean of the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Vermont, is part of a nationwide collaboration that will collect data on nanocomposites. The project is funded through a five-year, $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s Cyber-infrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation program.

The project is led by researchers from Duke University and along with UVM includes researchers at Northwestern University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that has secured funding to produce an organized, searchable, extensible repository of data on polymer nanocomposites and structural metamaterials complete with a suite of analytical and predictive tools to help spur the discovery of new materials.
“We are contributing to the emerging materials genome initiative – building a platform and a culture to enable sharing of data and metadata in a format that is accessible. We are very hopeful that it will lead to deeper and faster discoveries, and the ability to design new materials,” said Schadler.
