The Multifunctional Materials Laboratory at University of Washington is devoted to investigating the mechanics
and physics of multifunctional materials, using tightly combined theoretical, numerical, and experimental
investigations. We are interested in understanding the formation and evolution of
microstructure in materials, clarifying their structure-property relationship, and optimizing
microstructures and processing conditions for superior functional properties. We have been working on
ferroelectrics, ferromagnetic materials, multiferroics, thermoelectrics, and electro-active polymers
and composites, and we are currently focusing on global energy need through multifunctional materials
design and synthesis.
