Led the creation of nanometamaterials.

Julia Greer has led both scientists and students in the task of creating “nanometamaterials” – microscopic materials with hollow, nanoscale lattice architecture. The resulting structures are light, durable, and incredibly strong – and some even retain their shape after pressure is applied.

Greer’s current projects include the applications of nanomaterials in lithium ion batteries and the biomedical industry, with the goal of scaling up the production of nanometamaterials for wider industrial use.
