Research

Our research is interdisciplinary, combining engineering design, computation, and fabrication. We investigate a wide variety of application areas of mechanical and structural systems across a number of industries including consumer products, robotics, space, biomedical, civil, mechanical, machine design and aerospace.  The main interests and expertise of the EMSL are broadly lie in the field of manufacturing lightweight functional materials and structures (such as composites, functionally graded materials, metals, and alloys) at multiple length scales combining experiments, theoretical analysis and computer simulations involving both computational and inverse problems of engineering.

Immediate openings:

  • PhD position on Active mechanical metamaterials and multi-functional composites: Link
  • PhD position on Design and manufacturing of mechanical metamaterial: Link
