Congratulations to Prof. Chen for receiving the NSF Boosting Research Ideas for Transformative and Equitable Advances in Engineering (BRITE) fellow award. This award was given for the project under the title AI-Enabled Discovery and Design of Programmable Material Systems. The overall vision of the project is to develop methods to design the materials, architectures, and stimuli of programmable material systems simultaneously and predictably. Programmable materials are very promising for use in medicine, transportation, construction, and other areas as they take on new shapes or functions in response to their environments.
