Computational Engineering and Design Group

Computer-generated mesh model of an airplane over a coastal landscape.

We develop advanced simulation and optimization tools to solve complex, multi-disciplinary challenges. By integrating analytical, computational, and experimental methods, we transform theoretical models into high-performance, real-world solutions.

Part of Engineering

The Computational Engineering and Design (CED) Group serves as a multidisciplinary research hub within the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. We are dedicated to advancing the frontiers of engineering through a sophisticated integration of analytical, computational, and experimental techniques. Our mission is to bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrial application, developing innovative methodologies that enhance the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of complex engineering systems.
