Collaborations
WSU (as the lead institution) and three outstanding academic partners – Princeton University, California Institute of Technology, and Stanford University – conduct substantive research leading to advances/innovations in the field of Dynamic Compression Science. Multidisciplinary research activities, involving students, postdocs, and faculty members from different academic disciplines (Condensed Matter Physics/Chemistry, Geo/Planetary Sciences, Materials Theory/Computation, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, etc.) at these institutions are addressing exciting scientific challenges.
Shock Wave Academic Partnership (SWAP)
The Shock Wave Academic Partnership is funded by a DOE/NNSA Cooperative Agreement and reflects a broad range of activities carried out by three academic partner institutions: WSU, California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and Princeton University. This partnership allows for rigorous education and hands-on training for outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with an interest in seeking professional careers at the NNSA Laboratories.
Collaborations with National Laboratories
The Institute for Shock Physics encourages partnerships involving researchers from national laboratories to address scientific challenges related to the understanding of materials under extreme conditions. To date, the Institute has had excellent scientific interactions with all three NNSA Laboratories (Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, and Sandia). Partnerships are also in place with DoD Laboratories.
