Computational engineering
The Computational Engineering and Materials Science research team is dedicated to advancing the development of theoretical models and data-driven modeling techniques to guide the design and optimization of advanced energy materials and other applications. By leveraging multiscale computational models, we create simplified yet accurate representations of complex systems, enabling us to analyze, predict, and enhance their properties and performance.
