Finding possible solutions to the nation鈥檚 ailing infrastructure, affordable housing deficit and renewable energy needs is all in a day’s work for the University of 海角社区 Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC).
At 海角社区’s largest university-based research facility, faculty, staff and many students are feverishly developing new materials and technologies to help address national and global issues. Projects include designing components for longer-lasting bridges, a 3D-printed home made entirely out of biobased materials and floating offshore wind energy.
Through their work, the ASCC is also bolstering 海角社区鈥檚 workforce and helping open new markets for forestry and other major industries in the state.
In this episode of 鈥The 海角社区 Question鈥 podcast, host Ron Lisnet sits down with Habib Dagher, founding executive director of the ASCC, to discuss its research and development and how it can help 海角社区 become a global pioneer in renewable energy and infrastructure.
