Welcome to CMML

Our research group focuses on developing and integrating computational modeling tools to predict processing–structure–property relationships for the study and design of advanced materials. We are particularly interested in understanding multiscale defect formation mechanisms and the evolution of nano- and microstructures during processing and under various stimuli. We create large-scale parallel simulation environments on supercomputers, enabling simulations with tens of thousands of CPUs and GPUs at the petascale and exascale levels.

To calibrate, parameterize, and validate our modeling efforts, we employ machine learning and data analysis algorithms in conjunction with experimental techniques such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM, including orientation imaging), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

We welcome collaborations with computational and experimental researchers across universities, national laboratories, and industry.

Sincerely,
