That’s why Greg Odegard got into carbon. Odegard is the John O. Hallquist Endowed Chair in Computational Mechanics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics at Michigan Technological University. He also leads the NASA Institute for Ultra-Strong Composites by Computational Design (US-COMP) and the Tech Forward initiative for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing. Odegard specifically studies ultrastrong carbon-nanotube-based composites, and he points out that not all carbon is equal. While all sporting a big C chemically, the soft sheets of graphite differ from the rigid strength of diamond and the flexibility and electrical properties of graphene. In its many forms, carbon can perform in many ways and the tricky part with composites
