Design of Next Generation Systems, Structures, Materials, and Manufacturing

Advanced computing methods are revolutionizing all aspects of engineering design. New developments promise to deliver radical gains in systems engineering, including design innovation, designer productivity, and system performance. Areas of interest include:

Physics-guided Machine Learning
Machine Learning on Graphs
Generative Design
Surrogate Modeling

New CS faculty will join an engineering school with interdisciplinary programs and research centers already recognized as leaders in their fields. Among them:

Symbiotic design for cyber-physical systems (Institute for Software Integrated Systems)
Vanderbilt Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (MuMS)
Vanderbilt Institute of Nanoscience and Engineering (VINSE)
Vanderbilt Laboratory for Systems Integrity and Reliability (LASIR)

Destination: CS builds on our success in design automation for cyber-physical systems and combining human intuition with AI/ML-based analytical strength in creating symbiotic design flows.
