Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intelligent Systems (SMASIS) Division

About

Our interdisciplinary division brings together diverse experts dedicated to technical advances and applications of smart materials, adaptive structures and intelligent systems. This division has a unique mindset that integrates theoretical, experimental, design, and data analysis within multiple domains and scales. Focal areas include, but not limited to, sensing and actuation, adaptive systems dynamics and controls, active and multi-functional materials, bio-inspired systems, and integrated systems.  This foundational work empowers a range of transformative applications from ideation through commercialization in areas such as vibration, wave and noise controls, energy harvesting, structural health monitoring, and deployable and morphing structures.  Our emerging field is already having value and impact on a range of sectors such as automotive, aerospace, energy, consumer products, medical technology, and more.
