Temple University’s Composites Laboratory is directed by Prof. Parsaoran Hutapea. The lab is occupied by one postdoctoral fellow, six graduate students, and two BS/MS students. The lab is currently supported by the Department of Defense CDMRP Prostate Cancer Research Program and the National Science Foundation. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions and/or are interested in our research and collaboration.  We are also interested in hearing from prospective graduate students/postdocs to contact us for research positions in our lab.  Thank you for visiting!
