Current portfolio
A rotating slice of the center's sponsored work. Sponsors and partners can request the full briefing book.
Vibrational dynamics in RDX
Non-equilibrium kinetic modeling tied to selective-IR experimental campaigns at federal labs.
ML for shock compression
Interpretable ML on scarce experimental Hugoniot data for solid energetics and metals.
Knowledge graphs for energetics
Domain-specific NLP pipelines extracting structure-property relations from the literature.
Energetic ferroelectrics
