Welcome to the erlebacher group
at Johns Hopkins University
Computational Research
Building simulations using our in-house code, we gain insight to the fundamental mechanisms that drive what we see in a lab setting.
Experimental research
Experimental research in our lab includes designing procedures to create new materials, characterization, and machining equipment.
Current Events
Congratulations rohit!
Rohit has successfully completed his masters degree!
Group Vision
Our group is interested in many diverse areas, from nanoporous and nanostructured metals synthesis and applications, computational and experimental materials science, and materials science for clean energy technologies.
Self-Assembled Morphogenic Metal Coatings
Develop and simulate a high fatigue and corrosion resistant metal coating for aqueous corrosion environments.
Porous Mg scaffold with solid carbon adhered
Magnesium Based Carbon Capture
Addressing the need for a carbon sequestration process which turns carbon dioxide into a commercially useful form of carbon, this work explores the magnesium – carbon dioxide reaction under controlled conditions.
Methane Decomposition
Addresses the need for an environmentally clean fuel source by splitting natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon producing little to no greenhouse gas emissions.
