Cajun-Integrated Computational Materials Engineering Lab (C-ICME)
The C-ICME Lab is interested in integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) including development of integrated multi-scale approaches to design of high performance metal alloys. Our research involves the development of advanced materials characterization techniques such as electrostatic levitation (ESL) as well as the experimental validation and integration of simulation methods including calculation of phase diagram (CALPHAD) analysis, classical molecular dynamics, phase field models, and continuum mechanics.
Advanced Hierarchical Materials by Design Lab
We are interested in understanding atomic and molecular processes, developing mathematical and numerical models, and establishing computational tools for multiscale/physics systems with the aim of hierarchical design of advanced and nanomaterials. To achieve this goal we utilize atomistic simulations, mesoscale modeling techniques, and higher scale continuum models in close collaborations with experimental researchers world-wide to unravel the materials genome and design materials with superior properties.
