We are a collection of aerospace, chemical and mechanical engineers, material scientists, mathematicians and physicists, brought together by our shared love for understanding how natural phenomena/man-made machines work (Mechanics) and developing/refining tools that will help us achieve that goal (Applied Mathematics). We conduct fundamental and applied research in these broad areas, reaching well beyond traditionally identified domains.
Members are engaged in extremely diverse projects that include probing the mysteries of the tiny cell to deciphering the Earthʼs geophysics; designing microfluidic sensors to understanding multiphysics flows; estimating the strength of tangled polymer chains to employing sturdy composites for aerospace structures;  probing the stability of complex fluids to controlling autonomous vehicles;  leveraging atomistic simulations to understand macroscopic behavior of designer materials to designing these materials.

The opportunities and challenges are endless!
