— the Laboratory for Additive Manufacturing and Multifunctional Materials.

In the Mueller Lab, we believe that the fusion of human creativity, bioinspiration, and advanced computational tools drives the most captivating—and effective—engineering designs. Yet, transforming these designs into reality remains a substantial challenge. Additive Manufacturing (AM), often heralded as a revolutionary alternative to conventional manufacturing, holds great promise but has yet to fully meet expectations, hindering progress in critical research areas and industrial applications.

At the Mueller Lab, we tackle these challenges head-on by developing new and enhancing existing fabrication processes. Our goal is to create fast, reliable, and predictable manufacturing techniques that enable the creation of complex multimaterial architectures in materials, structures, and devices with unique and unprecedented (multi-)functional properties, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in engineering and science.

Located within the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering at the beautiful Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins University, our lab is also affiliated with the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. We are proud members of the Johns Hopkins Center for Additive Manufacturing and Architected Materials (JAM2), the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (HEMI), and the Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT).

We are continually seeking new collaborators and motivated individuals at all levels to join our team. Whether you're interested in working with us or engaging in stimulating discussions, we would love to hear from you. Don’t hesitate to reach out!
