        COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS RESEARCH         

The laboratory for computational materials research at Brown University is one of nine collaborative research laboratories established worldwide by General Motors to accelerate the pace of innovation in strategic technology areas.

The laboratory uses computer simulations to study  materials that are being developed for automotive applications.   The simulations are guided and verified by experiments.

At present, the lab has two focus areas: (i) Lightweight materials for enhanced performance;  (ii) Engineered surfaces.    

Researchers from the Materials and Processes group at General Motors, and the Solid Mechanics and Materials groups at Brown collaborate on all projects.
