A Materials
Design Laboratory

Our goal is to develop cutting-edge experimental tools, particularly using X-rays, to understand material behavior and apply this knowledge to design new materials. We are in pursuit of building a laboratory that integrates tomography, hyperspectral X-ray imaging, ptychography, X-ray scattering for in situ measurements under mechanical loading for metals to biological samples. By extracting full field stress and strain data, we are in pursuit of building a database for data-driven mechanics, enabling machine learning and AI analysis.
