Here at HEMI, we believe that complex problems can only be addressed by sophisticated teams. We partner with academic, government, and private organizations on a wide range of projects, leveraging key strengths in the Johns Hopkins University and the Whiting School of Engineering. Below is a listing of the major science activities for which we’ve received funding in 2016:
