Application Domains in Product and System design

Some of our research has theoretical motivations, but most of our work has been motivated by societal and industrial needs and desires for products and systems that serve these needs. In this sense, a major research challenge has always been the translation of a social or industrial need into a rigorous research question.

This section includes work in the following specific areas:

Architectural design

Automotive systems, especially hybrid and electric powertrains

Electromagnetic systems, especially antennas

Manufacturing and design integration

Structural design

In addition, applications on sustainable products and systems are included under systems design. Many papers throughout the lists include application examples as demonstrations.
