— the Laboratory for Additive Manufacturing + Architected Materials.

At the Mueller Lab, we believe that the fusion of human creativity, bioinspiration, and advanced computational tools drives the most compelling—and effective—engineering designs. However, turning these designs into reality remains a substantial challenge. Additive manufacturing holds great promise as an alternative to conventional manufacturing, but it has not yet fully met expectations, hindering progress in critical research areas and industrial applications.

We tackle these challenges by developing new and improving existing fabrication processes. Our goal is to deliver fast, reliable, and predictable manufacturing techniques that enable complex multimaterial architectures in materials, structures, and devices, yielding novel multifunctional properties and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in engineering and science.

Based in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering on Johns Hopkins University’s Homewood campus, 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), and affiliated with the Translational Therapeutics & Regenerative Engineering Center (TTREC).

We welcome new collaborators and motivated individuals at all levels to join our team. Whether you are interested in working with us or simply engaging in discussion, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out.
