Welcome to the home pages for Dr. James B. Spicer's group. We are a small team composed of faculty, post-docs and students of various backgrounds who are affiliated with The Johns Hopkins University Materials Science and Engineering Department. Our interests span all aspects of engineering with an emphasis of understanding the measurements of material observables and how they correlate with physical properties.
