Finite Element Method

Toward Unbreakable Materials
Our research is aimed at understanding the fundamental mechanisms that why materials mechanically fail and how to create materials that do not break. By controlling light and electronic environments, we have discovered that brittle and fragile materials such as glass can behave like strong and tough metals.

Multiphysics & Functional Emergence
As human beings exhibit great power when under great pressure, materials also express potential functions when subjected to mechanical stress. We are challenging to develop new material functions by utilizing the mechanical load.

Fusion of Computational/Data Science to Unravel Material World
By solving physical laws and simulating the real world in a computer, we can reveal phenomena that cannot be seen/understood experimentally. In addition to state-of-the-art solid state physics theory and the development of proprietary materials analysis software, we are also integrating with data science such as machine learning.
