Engineering Education

We can inspire and train the next generation of engineers through quality teaching and the development of new teaching technologies.

We perform research in the application of digital technologies (e.g. virtual reality, augmented reality, haptics, artificial intelligence) to enhance the learning of science and engineering.

Advanced Manufacturing

In order to enable production of new technologies from recent scientific discoveries and advances in understanding matter at the micro- and nanoscale in the biological, chemical, electrical, mechanical, optical and other domains—new paradigms in manufacturing are needed.

To address this critical need, the lab’s research focus is in the development of novel manufacturing technologies, micro-nano-manufacturing processes and tools, and experimental mechanics of materials.
