Welcome to the Computational Materials Design Lab (CMDL) at The University of Texas at Dallas! Our research focuses on computational modeling of crystalline materials, mechanics of energy materials, and multi-physical modeling of materials science in multiple space and time scales. Computational Mechanics is a rapidly growing discipline in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Sciences that develops and uses computational methodologies to characterize, and simulate physical phenomena in nature and engineering systems. Our lab is using and also developing the state-of-the art computational model to understand and predict deformation mechanisms in various types of advanced engineering materials.
