Visual Design and Engineering Lab

We are a dynamic research group at the Mechanical Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University. Our aim is to develop new engineering design, analysis, and manufacturing technologies through the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and optimization.

To this end, our research focuses on generating new algorithmic and methodological knowledge, all demonstrated and validated through computational software. Our research projects are centered around the following core foundations and applications:

Core Foundations		Applications
AI / ML Regression Deep Learning Reinforcement Learning Engineering Analysis and Synthesis Optimization Generative Design Solid Mechanics Physics Simulations FEA / Meshing Geometric Modeling Shape Modeling Shape Processing		CAD / Shape Design Topology Optimization Additive Manufacturing Design Theory and Methodology Integrated Circuit Design Bio-engineering Fuel Cell Design Air Quality Monitoring
