Our current research areas are: (1) multiscale and multiphysics simulations of materials behavior from the atomic-scale to macroscale; (2) experimental evaluation of materials behavior and materials characterization at multiple length scales and (3) synergistic integration of experiments, multiscale/multiphysics simulations and machine learning approaches for tailoring and design of next generation multifunctional materials.
At present, our primary applications are: (1) Nanoengineered Smart Composite Materials; (2) Design of Composite Materials subjected to High Strain Rates; (3) 3D Printed Composite Materials for Impact Mitigation; (4) Atomistically engineered materials; (5) Environment-friendly Smart and Multifunctional Bio-based Polymer Composites and (6) multifunctional cementitious composites.
