Welcome to Advanced Materials Intelligence (AMI) Lab
Our research group focuses on computational materials science—developing and integrating advanced modeling tools to study multiscale defect formation, microstructural evolution, and material properties in metals, alloys, and hydrogen-related systems. We employ large-scale parallel computing (petascale and exascale) on supercomputers equipped with thousands of CPUs and GPUs, enabling high-fidelity simulations that capture the complexities of both fundamental science and engineering applications.
To calibrate and validate our predictions, we synergize machine learning and data analytics with a suite of experimental techniques (optical microscopy, SEM-orientation image mapping, TEM). This holistic approach ensures robust insights into nano- and microstructural phenomena, paving the way for optimized materials design and performance. We welcome collaborative efforts with fellow researchers in academia, national laboratories, and industry to accelerate breakthroughs in sustainable energy, advanced alloys, and next-generation computational strategies.
