About

CMPD generates and manages in-process, transient materials property data used in process modeling and simulation. Our goal is to provide access to greater amounts of high-quality, pre-competitive data at substantially lower cost than stand-alone methods can provide.

  • Member organizations benefit from shared expertise, collaborative quality assurance, and development and use of best practices for qualifying data needed for modeling materials.
  • CMPD is member-driven and its portfolio of projects is determined by the industry membership.
  • Our vision is to be the premiere platform for accessing pedigreed transient materials data for use as input to existing and new models.

 CMPD Membership includes:

  • Bi-annual workshop meetings
  • Networking
  • Access to new and rare materials data
  • Access to materials expertise at UConn, WPI, and UBuffalo
  • An opportunity to select CMPD projects
