About Us
The Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI) is one of Johns Hopkins University’s premier research institutes on the Homewood Campus. Established in 2012, HEMI includes faculty members from the Whiting School of Engineering, Krieger School of Arts and Sciences the Applied Physics Laboratory in collaboration with numerous associates from academia, government, and industry.
Our team of globally recognized researchers embraces the challenge of solving extremely complex research problems. This allows us not only to develop and provide the tools needed to address today’s problems but also to lay the groundwork needed to build the basic science needed to address future threats and opportunities.
Organizational Structure
HEMI consists of many teams working in concert with one another. The institute’s structure consists of the following:
HEMI Support
HEMI support underpins the institute’s research, educational, and workforce development activities. The institute provides assistance to its members in the form of administrative, finance, engineering, and communications teams.
