The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) was awarded a $1,500,000 Project Grant from the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) on October 1, 2024 for the project titled "(MURI) COMPOSITIONALLY COMPLEX CERAMICS FOR HYPERSONICS VIA KNOWLEDGE-GUIDED CERAMIZATION". This grant supports fundamental and applied scientific research to maintain technological superiority for the U.S. Air Force and Space Force. UAB will serve as the prime awardee, with sub-awards going to Northwestern University, Arizona State University, Pennsylvania State University, the University of California Davis, and Rice University to collaborate on this ceramics research for hypersonic applications. The project aims to advance knowledge in the development of compositionally complex ceramics that can withstand the extreme environments encountered in hypersonic flight.
