We pursue efforts directed, but not limited, to:

1. discovery of hierarchical and architected meta-composites with tailored mechanical and acoustic properties for lightweight applications
2. designing heterogeneous microstructures to enable and tailor piezoelectric, electromagnetic and multiphysical properties along desired directions in solids
3. developing quantum field theory-inspired neural networks (QUINN) to establish linkage between bulk macroscopic properties and microstructured morphology
4. developing elastodynamic scattering-informed digital twins for structural health monitoring (SHM) of metallic alloys and composites subjected to thermomechanical fatigue
5. characterising the statistical interactions between multiple defects and cracks in solids across length scales
