Our research program covers a broad variety of interdisciplinary topics under the overall framework of Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) through a synergistic combination of computational design, manufacturing and materials processing technologies, and materials science.

In all of our research endeavors and collaborations, we strive to integrate these three key elements together to achieve new fundamental scientific insights, to produce groundbreaking high-impact results, and to create innovative LAM technologies.

We synthesize diverse disciplines of science and engineering to pursue our goals. They include the following:

• Conception, design and implementation of leading edge innovative LAM technologies


• Design and development of Advanced LAM Systems for specific applications.


• Multi-physics modeling, computational geometry, data structures and digital data processing algorithms.


• Experimental materials characterization and theoretical property validation.


• Qualification, Validation and Verification of LAM Processes and Products.
