Into Vanishing Ice
The melting Arctic is creating new trade, economic, and operational opportunities — but also new challenges that could threaten the U.S. border and the region’s fragile ecosystem. Researchers at Johns Hopkins APL are pooling their expertise and established experience in materials, modeling, AI, and sensing to develop the technology and knowledge for a sustainable and lasting foothold in this rapidly changing region.
Game-Changing Impact
We solve complex research, engineering, and analytical problems that present critical challenges to our nation.
By combining creativity and technical expertise with a culture of risk-taking, we tackle increasingly difficult challenges with impacts across multiple domains.
Optical EngineerIn my previous work experiences, I didn’t have a lot of female engineers around me, but here at APL I’ve seen women who are outstanding in their technical accomplishments, in speaking up for themselves and their work, in reaching out to lift up other women, and in pushing the boundaries of innovation.
