MPDC VISION, MISSION & CULTURE

The Materials Process Design and Control (MPDC) Laboratory performs applied and basic research in the interface of computational mathematics and materials. It attracts gifted individuals from all over the world and provides an environment that prepares them for successful careers in academia or industry. MPDC is committed to providing industry and government with innovative computational solutions to materials problems for world-class competitiveness.
Research activities include multiscale modeling of materials (from ab initio to continuum) and multiscale design of materials processes for control of microstructure-sensitive properties. Emphasis of our recent work is in quantifying and controlling uncertainty propagation in materials across scales. For achieving these objectives, a variety of mathematical and statistical computational tools are being developed. These tools include multiscale and multiphysics materials simulators, homogenization techniques, machine learning techniques for exploring large material databases, level set and phase field methods, techniques for modeling stochastic PDEs in high-dimensions, Bayesian inference approaches and non-linear model reduction algorithms. MPDC emphasizes interdisciplinary cooperation between its workgroups. Read more
