COMPASS will integrate the current outreach programs at NCSU and UM and extend them to UIUC, WSU, NEU, CSU and USC. Under Thuo’s leadership, and in partnership with the Africa Materials Research Society, we will expand this work to include an Africa-wide effort involving BIT (S. Chigome), UMau (A. Luximon-Bhaw), and UCAD (B. D. Ngom).
Complex particle systems are ubiquitous and include a variety of common items from food to cement and water sediments, which provides COMPASS with numerous opportunities to integrate our educational activities with research work with students and faculty from African universities.
