Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering
Atomistic and Multiscale Mechanics Lab
Led by Youping Chen · Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
What we study
This group uses computer simulation to connect how individual atoms behave with how whole materials behave, including how defects move and how heat travels through materials.
