Our Mission

Our aim is to carry out top-quality, internationally leading, and truly impactful scientific research that addresses contemporary challenges in engineering and sciences requires groups of investigators with a combined expertise in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physical and/or Medical Sciences, and Computer Science, and with the ability to interact at the interface between these disciplines.

Our Vision

SCALES will serve as the venue of collaboration and co-discovery between researchers that focus on physical sciences and engineering, as well as those who focus on modeling, simulation, data analytics, ML and AI. To meet the real world challenges that face society, while building on the strengths and current growth trends of Vanderbilt University, the timing is right to launch a center focused on simulation, computational-modeling with AI-integrated learning for engineering systems.

Yuri Bazilevs, Director, SCALES

Yuri Bazilevs is a pioneer of Isogeometric Analysis, a physics-based computational methodology that bridges computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA). His research spans computational mechanics, structural analysis and design, fluid-structure interaction, aerospace composites, and undersea engineering.

He has published more than 200 journal papers, coauthored two books, and led or co-led more than 25 grants totaling over $16 million in awards. He is a fellow of the United States Association for Computational Mechanics, the Engineering Mechanics Institute of ASCE, and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

 I’m eager to engage in research and teaching at Vanderbilt and to work with colleagues in engineering and beyond to build scientifically and societally impactful, collaborative research and graduate-education programs. - Professor Yuri Bazilevs
