Computational material modelling
The research cluster, coordinated by Dr. Federico Danzi, focuses on the development of multiscale and high-fidelity finite element models of complex materials and composites, supporting design, certification, validation and verification across multiple domains (land, air, naval and space). Our research approach integrates open source and commercial simulation tools with custom and calibrated constitutive models and statistical variability, and follows the entire modelling lifecycle, from experimental characterization of materials, through numerical simulation, to experimental benchmarking and validation of the results.
What we do
- Simulation and validation of high-velocity impact scenarios in multidomain, such as ballistic armor impacts and bird-strike events.
- Hybrid experimental-virtual approaches for the estimation of material allowables, uncertainty quantification and propagation using advanced AI algorithms.
- Calibration & validation of material models, enabling accurate representation of complex non-linear behavior including plasticity, damage, temperature and strain-rate.
- Workflow development for atomistic material discovery and micromechanical modeling.
Multifunctional Materials
The research cluster, coordinated by Dr. Muhammad Zahid, focuses on the development and integration of diverse classes of materials for future aerospace and defense technologies. The main focus is on disruptive energy harvesting and storage devices, and nanomaterials to exploit their full potential across demanding environments.
What we do
- Integration of nanomaterials such as graphene, hBN, MXenes, metals, ceramics, etc., to develop smart solutions for applications in thermal management, sensing, de-icing, EMI shielding and printed electronics, etc.
- Development and optimization of innovative photovoltaics for aerospace applications, such as perovskite solar cells.
- Study of advanced materials for next generation batteries (e.g. solid state, Li-S, etc.) capable of operating in extreme environments.
Advanced Manufacturing
The research cluster, coordinated by Dr. Sara Varetti, focuses on the study, development and optimization of innovative processes. The aim is to enhance the performance of components, efficiency and sustainability of processes, and enabling the workability of new materials. The team of researchers works towards cutting-edge technologies integrating automation, artificial intelligence and smart manufacturing beyond the state of the art, providing reliable and disruptive manufacturing solutions.
What we do
- Optimization and real time monitoring of manufacturing processes, such as Additive Manufacturing, Out of Autoclave (OOA), multi-material joining, In-Space Manufacturing, ISRU etc.
- Studying advanced recycling processes, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies and novel materials composition (e.g. vitrimers, metal alloys, adhesives) to reduce dependence on Critical Raw Materials (CRMs).
- Acceleration of materials and process development with a focus on developing Self-Driving Laboratories. This approach integrates robotics, automated experimentation platforms, advanced sensor networks, and AI-driven optimization algorithms.
