About the Lab:
Pioneering the Future of AI/ML-Assisted Material Modeling and Structural Design
The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Multiscale Modeling (AIM³) Lab stands at the intersection of computational mechanics, ML/AI modeling, and materials and structures. Located at the University of Texas at Arlington, we leverage cutting-edge neural networks and multiscale simulations to solve critical challenges in aerospace and defense. Our mission is to accelerate the design of next-generation composites and additively manufactured metamaterials, making them lighter, stronger, and smarter through AI/ML-assisted multiscale modeling.
