When Matthew Troemner arrived at Northwestern in 2017 as a PhD student in Professor Gianluca Cusatis’s Quasi-Brittle Materials Research Group, he wholly expected to begin work further developing a Lattice Discrete Particle Model - previously created by Cusatis - that could be used to simulate the failure behavior of concrete
Yet it wasn’t long before he was tasked to lead a different project - Northwestern’s submission into the NASA 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, a multiyear competition that challenged teams from around the world to create new technologies to manufacture a home on Mars using materials native to the planet…
