2. Accelerated discovery of novel materials (Smart manufacturing)
At the Laser & Energy Transport Laboratory, we are pioneering new methods to accelerate the discovery and development of advanced materials tailored for extreme environments, energy applications, and functional surfaces. Traditional materials discovery can take years of trial-and-error experimentation. Our lab overcomes this bottleneck by integrating high-throughput laser processing, real-time diagnostics, and active machine learning into a closed-loop materials innovation framework.
