Diane N. Collard's work spans energetic materials and propulsion, including solid propellant formulations enhanced with additively manufactured (3D-printed) components and modified aluminum particles, as well as adhesion of elastomeric binders to 3D-printed materials. Earlier work examined how magnetic fields affect turbulence and energy flow in electrically conducting fluids (magnetohydrodynamics). This combination suggests a research program connecting fluid dynamics fundamentals to applied propulsion and combustion material design.
