Design Innovation and Simulation Laboratory

The Design Innovation and Simulation Laboratory (DISL) at OSU is a facility to provide graduate and undergraduate students, the research and education on mechanism science, virtual reality simulation, and their application to the design and manufacturing of mechanical systems. To know more about research interests at DISL, please visit DISL Youtube Channel for more research videos. Download the DISL research overview.
Undergraduate students:
- multiple Research Experience for Undergraudate (REU) opportunities are available at DISL.
- women and minority students are encouraged to apply
Interested students should apply for ME program and mention your interests in DISL in the application. Please also send a resume with the objective statement to Prof. Su, su.298@osu.edu for consideration.
