DARPA Project, Phase I Continuance

This past Wednesday, we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Tiffany Prest and her team from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for a comprehensive review of our work with the uArmor Arcadia team. Our project focuses on developing a biofilm for corrosion protection and constructing a model that simulates the electrochemical behavior beneath this biofilm. Additionally, our lab is supporting other teams by conducting electrochemical testing, analysis, and characterization of their samples.

The DARPA representatives expressed satisfaction with our progress, and after final bacterial assessments, officially approved the project continuance, scheduled to commence in January 2025.
