Research

We are exploring several exciting research directions, often with overlapping boundaries.

Topological Lattices

a robust way to localize and guide energy in materials

Multistable Lattices

enabling adaptable and deployable structures

Active Lattices

embedding intelligence into the building blocks of materials

Vibration and Shock Isolation

lightweight and efficient solutions for isolation

Flow Control w/ Metamaterial

new pathways for flow control

Acoustic Control

control of airborne sound using metasurfaces

Experimental facility

The Laboratory for Engineered Materials and Structures (LEMS) is dedicated to the design of phononic crystals and metamaterials, as well as the precise measurement of their vibration and wave properties. The laboratory is equipped with advanced tools, including a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), a vibration shaker, a 3D printer, a mini-universal testing machine (mini-UTM), high-frequency piezo-actuators and sensors with associated electronic equipment.
