Graduate Research Information Sessions

The Graduate Research Information Sessions give prospective graduate students the opportunity to learn about research being conducted by various MAE faculty and gives them the chance to ask research related questions. These research sessions will be held virtually. See below for autumn 2023 session information. 

Attendees are eligible to apply to be considered for an application fee waiver. Details on how to apply will be provided at the sessions. 

There are no additional sessions scheduled for this term.

Multi-functional Design Lab - Dr. Alok Sutradhar

Sutradhar

Dr. Sutradhar's lab focuses on mechanics-guided optimized design of multifunctional materials and structures. They aim to create novel computational methods for multi-physics problems and designing metamaterials and structures tailored for additive manufacturing. The application areas of their current research span the automotive/aerospace industry, bone implants, heat dissipators, photonics, femtosecond laser-induced damage mechanics, lightweight multifunctional structures, and biomechanics of trachea stenosis and stent migration. They also work in the mechanics-biomedicine interface to deliver innovative solutions to biomedical problems.
