Autonomy & Intelligence of Materials & Structures [AIMS]

The research and teaching vision traverses the intelligence domains of materials and structures to design multifunctional devices. Starting with the inception of concepts and model formulation, the program compiles experimental and simulation data in computational platform. Through advanced manufacturing and characterization in extreme or changing environment, the group develops high performing devices of practical significance in academia and industry.
