The
vision of Dr. James E. Hubbard Jr., Morpheus Laboratory is a dynamic research facility focused on aerospace
applications of smart materials and adaptive structures. Morpheus Lab has primary research facilities at NASA Langley
Research Center, and secondary facilities at the University of Maryland, College Park. Office space is located at the National Institute
of Aerospace. We gratefully acknowledge the lab spaces provided to us by the Advanced Materials and Processing and Structural Dynamics Branches of NASA Langley Research center.
