About the Morpheus Lab

The vision of Dr. James E. Hubbard Jr., Morpheus Laboratory is a dynamic research facility focused on Smart Systems with applications of smart materials and adaptive structures. Morpheus Lab has primary research facilities at the Rellis Campus of Texas A&M University (TAMU), and secondary facilities at the main TAMU University Service Building (USB) campus. Office space is located in the Mechanical Engineering Office Building (MEOB). We gratefully acknowledge Governors University Research Initiative (GURI) and University Research Fund.

Mission

The Morpheus Laboratory (“Morpheus”) mission is four-fold:

  1. To offer rigorous, graduate level, experiment-centric training in the fields of smart systems, adaptive structures, smart materials, and testing.

  2. To benefit society through the generation of scholarship in the fields of smart systems, adaptive structures, smart materials,

  3. To develop disruptive technologies based on the innovative applications of smart materials and adaptive structures.

  4. To inspire the children of today to become the scientific and engineering innovators of tomorrow through ongoing outreach efforts in the community at large.

Facilities

The Morpheus Lab is located at the Texas A&M University Service Building approximately 4 miles from the main campus. Its research focus is on adaptive structures, sensors and actuators that enable efficient Human Machine Teaming. The systems we currently work on encompass self-driving vehicles, multi-rotor drones and the air/ground co-ordination of such systems. This includes the development of tools and techniques for the control of space-time distributed parameter systems.

The Alexander Brown Memorial Scholarship

Alex was well known for his energy and great leadership potential, and will be greatly missed. He was an innovative and involved researcher, and for that reason we have dedicated a scholarship to his name. Learn how to get involved and donate to the cause.
