Congratulations to Liwei Wang, whose paper “Mechanical cloak via data-driven aperiodic metamaterial design” has been published in the latest issue (Vol 112., No.13) of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The significance of his work is as follows: While cloaks have been manufactured for optical, thermal, and electric fields, limited progress has been
Liwei and Akshay’s paper on “Data-Driven Design via Scalable Gaussian Processes for Multi-Response Big Data with Qualitative Factors” received the Paper of Distinction recognition at the International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC) 2021 . The conference was held virtually between August 17 – 19, 2021. Also, this paper is now published in the Special Issue
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Ramin Bostanabad, IDEAL Alumni, has recently earned the NASA Early Faculty award. Dr. Bostanabad received his Ph.D from Northwestern University in 2019 (advised by Dr. Wei Chen) and is now an assistant professor at University of California, Irvine (UCI). The award was given for his work on Multiscale
Our lab member Anton van Beek successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on September 13th under the title Data Acquisition and Synthesis in Simulation-Based Design with Stochastic Models. Congratulations, Anton! Following his planned graduation this quarter, Anton will continue as a postdoctoral researcher here at IDEAL.
