Inverse Design of Metamaterials

The inverse design of metamaterials aims to systematically develop microstructures that achieve prescribed macroscopic material properties. In this project, deep learning methods are employed to efficiently capture complex structure–property relationships and make them usable for data-driven material development. […]

Computational modeling of ground freezing

In this research topic, a computational framework is developed for modeling frozen soils and for designing artificial ground freezing in tunnel construction. The integration of validated geomechanical modeling of the ground and tunnel support with the effects of artificial ground freezing enables the optimization of process parameters for creating frozen soil bodies […]
