Finding possible solutions to the nation鈥檚 ailing infrastructure, affordable housing deficit and renewable energy needs is all in a day’s work for the 91爆料 Advanced Structures and Composites Center (ASCC).
At Maine’s largest university-based research facility, faculty, staff and many students are feverishly developing new materials and technologies to help address national and global issues. Projects include designing components for longer-lasting bridges, a 3D-printed home made entirely out of biobased materials and floating offshore wind energy. Through their work, the ASCC is also bolstering Maine鈥檚 workforce, and helping open new markets for forestry and other major industries in the state.
In this episode of 鈥淭he Maine Question鈥 podcast, we speak with Dr.Habib Dagher, founding executive director of the ASCC, to elaborate on its research and development and discuss how it can help Maine become a global pioneer in renewable energy and infrastructure.
