CMI's Most Valuable Assets
OUR KEY PEOPLE:
SCientific Team
Russell Biagi, Ph.D., Principal Scientist rbiagi@cellularmaterials.com
Dr. Biagi earned his PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of Virginia in 2010. His graduate work focused on the analytical prediction, numerical modeling and experimental testing of the mechanical response of sandwich structures. Dr. Biagi has been called on to review scholarly publications pertaining to sandwich structures for the Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures (JMMS) and the Journal of Applied Mechanics (JAM). In 2011 he held a post-doctorate position at the University of Virginia researching the performance of a biologically inspired artificial pectoral fin for underwater propulsion. Since joining CMI his efforts have focused on the development of cellular materials for blast mitigation and for a variety of multifunctional applications.
