Our Story
LAMSES has been pursuing the long tradition of achievements that mechanics has brought in engineering, science, and technology since 2011.
Mechanics is a core discipline in Science & Engineering, concerned with the behavior of fluids, solids, and complex materials and their interrelated mechanisms. Mechanics had and continue to have a great impact in almost every area that affects our lives (manufacturing, transport, biomedical, defense, energy, etc) by enabling transformative technological developments. As such, LAMSES is focused on better understanding, simulating and predicting the physics of complex phenomena that still limit the advancement of new technologies.
Vision
Advance modelling and understanding of complex physical mechanisms to support transformative technological changes and discoveries and tackle societal, economic and environmental challenges.- Leading knowledge discovery and innovation
- Translating research findings to solve real-world challenges
Aim
LAMSES aims to develop, combine and apply theories, fundamental concepts and principles, and mathematical and computational methods that are interdisciplinary in nature and span over several areas of mechanics, mathematics, computer science and other disciplines to advance our scientific understanding and facilitate the transition from fundamental research to cutting-edge technologies and novel applications.Our Research
Be WHERE THE WORLD IS going...
LAMSES uses a bottom-up approach where the focus is on the development and combination of concepts, methods and principles from experimental, theoretical, applied and computational mechanics that allow to advance knowledge and understanding of complex physical mechanisms through more accurate predictions, better characterization and faster simulations of mechanical systems. LAMSES applies this knowledge to the design and optimization of complex engineering and science systems, ultimately leading to the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of cutting-edge technologies for the industry and the general community.
By combining new concepts, methods and principles covering new techniques and computationally-challenging approaches, LAMSES contributes to the enormous potential that Mechanics has for future growth and applicability in science and engineering in particular with the advancement of data-driven and machine learning techniques.
Our Research Themes are:
Advanced Modelling and Computational Methods
Develop novel, fast, accurate and efficient computational methods and simulation tools, including but not limited to multiscale modelling, physics-informed and reduced-order models, statistical and stochastic methods, robust optimization under uncertainties, AI/ML.
Complex Fluids
Develop advanced computational techniques to accurately simulate complex and non-ideal fluid flow behaviors that are critical for the rational design and robust optimization of engineering applications.
Advanced Materials
Develop new methods across nano/micro/bulk scales for a broad range of materials (2D, nano, (bio-)composites, energy and biomedical).
Applied Mechanics
Advance understanding of complex interrelated mechanisms of fluids, structures and materials from nano to macro scale; and apply advanced technologies and knowledge to solve a wide variety of problems for societal, economic and environmental sustainability.
