Congratulations to Prof. Chen for receiving the Charles Russ Richards Memorial Award. The joint award given by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and Pi Tau Sigma National Mechanical Engineering Honor Society recognizes one individual each year for their significant contributions and achievements in mechanical engineering for more than 20 years or more following
Our lab member Akshay Iyer successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on August 10th 2021, under the title Data Centric Design for Microstructural Material Systems. Congratulations, Akshay! Following his planned graduation this summer, Akshay will continue his career at CNA Insurance here at Chicago! We wish him the best and good luck in his future endeavors!
Our lab’s research on data-driven design of new materials with small datasets, a collaboration with Prof. James Rondinelli‘s group, has been featured by Northwestern’s McCormick School of Engineering. This research, which includes PhD student Akshay Iyer, is developing an advanced optimization engine (AOE) that utilizes our latent variable Gaussian process modeling method to address the
Congratulations to Akshay Iyer, whose paper “Data Centric Nanocomposites Design via Mixed-Variable Bayesian Optimization”, has been published in and featured on the cover of Molecular Systems Design & Engineering (Issue 8)! The artwork was prepared by Askhay himself. Please be sure to read the paper, referenced below. Iyer, A., Zhang, Y., Prasad, A., Gupta, P.,
