Research Areas and Faculty
Aerospace engineers are creating better aircraft to help humans travel around the world and into outer space more easily. Ongoing areas of aviation and space research include materials and coatings, design, processes, modeling, manufacturing, electronics, and logistics.
Faculty is this area focus on integrating theories, such as decision theory, network theory and game theory, to develop explanatory models of individual entities' behaviors in supporting complex systems modeling, analysis and design.
Faculty are researching thermal and energy systems to improve power systems, processing plants, and energy storage and efficiency.
Faculty in this area research micro and nanofluidic systems including those for biomedical applications and other 3D printed solutions.
Researchers are using design theory, systems engineering and artificial intelligence to understand failures that affect complex systems like airplanes, manufacturing equipment and power generators in order to design new systems that can adapt to failure.
Faculty in this area are researching materials and manufacturing processes relevant to electronic packaging in order to improve reliability, performance, and behaviors within electronic systems. Researchers are also focusing on computational modeling of materials to understand the mechanical and surface properties of different material systems.
Faculty in this area focus on computational modeling of materials to understand the mechanical and surface properties of different material systems. Faculty also research electronic packaging in order to improve reliability, performance and thermal/mechanical behaviors within electronic systems.
Researchers in this area use experiments and computational modeling to design next generation nanoscale materials and fluidic systems, create nanomaterial coatings, improve photovoltaic and thermoelectric technologies, and address problems ranging from everyday products to medical solutions.
