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
