Mechanical Engineering

Uncover new knowledge either by the discovery of new facts, the formulation of theories or the innovative reinterpretation of known data and established ideas.

The PhD in Mechanical Engineering provides intensive education for students engaged as professional researchers in industries, national laboratories, or academics. Particular areas of focus include smart structures, aerospace engineering, turbulence, complex fluids, multiscale mechanics, micro and nano engineering, nanomaterials, energy harvesting, system diagnostics, biomechanics, biomaterials, and simulation using high-performance computing.
