Aerospace and mechanical engineering research focus
Research areas
Adaptive materials, structures and systems
Our faculty members study materials and systems that can change their properties in response to external conditions and engineer dynamic solutions.
Fluid and aeromechanics
MAE faculty members explore the behavior of fluids, like air and water, and their effects on objects, optimizing performance in systems such as aircraft and vehicles.
Design and manufacturing
By focusing on efficiency, functionality and scalability, faculty members and students bridge the gap between creative design and practical implementation.
Dynamics, controls and robotics
We’re developing intelligent robots through the integration of physics, computation and state of the art engineering.
Mechanical behavior and design of materials
ASU’s MAE faculty and students leverage the school’s technology to design custom materials, ensuring stronger and durable systems.
Thermal and solar energy
Our faculty members are harnessing heat and solar radiation to create sustainable energy solutions.
