INFORMS AAS Best Paper Award

Professor Vikrant Vaze received the INFORMS AAS Best Paper Award as co-author of, "Vertiport Planning for Urban Aerial Mobility: An Adaptive Discretization Approach" published in Manufacturing & Service Operations Management. The paper optimizes the number, locations, and capacities of vertiports for electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicles in urban aerial mobility (UAM) systems while capturing interdependencies between vertiport deployment, tactical operations, and passenger demand.

Metamaterial Designs for Better Energy Harvesting

PhD students Ya Tang, Huan Zhao, and Xiangbei Liu, alum Jace Henry '24, and Professor Yan Li co-authored "Design of metamaterial thermoelectric generators for efficient energy harvesting," published in Energy Conversion and Management: X. The team demonstrated that thermoelectric generators (TEGs) incorporating metamaterial designs offer significant potential to enhance energy harvesting efficiency and broaden application possibilities. "By capturing waste heat from industrial processes, vehicles, and electronic devices, these metamaterial-based TEGs can contribute to energy conservation and promote environmental sustainability," says Li.

Machine Learning Leads to Novel Metamaterials

PhD students Xiangbei Liu, Huan Zhao, Ya Tang, and Professor Yan Li are co-authors of "Few-shot learning-based generative design of metamaterials with zero Poisson’s ratio" published in Materials & Design. The team used their novel approach to "identify a non-periodic metamaterial that does not experience lateral deformation when stretched or compressed—constructed by strategically arranging 64 common unit cells, each having either positive or negative Poisson’s ratios. This unique property is highly desirable for applications such as space actuators, tissue scaffolds, and gaskets," said Li.
