Congratulations to HEMI Fellow Dr. Mitra Taheri on receiving a 2020 multidisciplinary university research initiative (MURI) award!
Dr. Taheri is a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, with a research focus on in situ and analytical electron microscopy. She is the head Principal Investigator for the project “From Perlocation to Passivation (P2P): Multiscale Prediction and Interrogation of Surface and Oxidation Phenomena in Multi-Principle Element Alloys,” which is one of twenty-six proposals out of 365 to receive a MURI award this year.
The MURI awards, totaling $185 million in all, are granted by the Department of Defense to research teams pursuing basic research spanning multiple scientific disciplines. These five-year grants are provided to teams located across 52 U.S. academic institutions, subject to satisfactory research progress and the availability of funds.
Congratulations again, Dr. Taheri!
