Led by the Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research, this 22,000-square-foot battery center strives to be a leader in electrified mobility, advancing efforts from research to pilot-scale manufacturing — developing next-generation battery cell materials and manufacturing technologies while supporting the transition to electrification.
The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) is the preeminent interdisciplinary research center in sustainable and safe mobility in the United States. CAR is recognized for emphasis on systems engineering, advanced experimental facilities, collaboration on advanced product development projects with industry and a balance of government and privately sponsored research.
The Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME) works with companies and researchers to translate new technologies into real-world, market-ready manufactured products. These projects give student employees at CDME hands-on experience integrating new technology while providing our customers the workforce advantage necessary to compete in a global marketplace.
The Center for Emergent Materials, a National Science Foundation-supported Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, performs integrated research on emergent materials and phenomena in magnetoelectronics, focusing on developing and understanding materials that grant improved control over magnetic properties.
The Center for Quantum Information and Science Engineering focuses on quantum research enterprise, bringing together a multidisciplinary community of researchers across the university and throughout the region to advance fundamental quantum science, investigate the quantum-classical boundary and explore applications with quantum advantage.
ElectroScience Laboratory (ESL) is the premier center focused on all aspects of electromagnetics and radio frequency (RF) systems. Established in 1942, it is one of the oldest and largest electromagnetics laboratories in the United States. ESL has consistently maintained a national and international preeminence in electromagnetics and RF systems.
NSF HAMMER-ERC is developing a new approach to design and manufacturing, putting product needs first, then finding new manufacturing pathways based on the agility of artisans and reproducibility of machines. NSF HAMMER-ERC is the hub for technical, commercial, educational and standard setting for Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing knowledge creation, deployment and commercial development.
As the gateway to materials-allied research at Ohio State, the Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research is a multidisciplinary institute that works with Ohio State colleges and departments to facilitate, promote and coordinate research activities and infrastructure related to the science and engineering of materials.
The Institute for Optical Science is a vibrant community of multidisciplinary researchers studying the fundamental properties of light and harnessing these properties in practical applications for significant benefit to society.
