Our research group within the
Faculty of Engineering at
Shinshu University focuses on numerical simulations and CAD/CAE applications, encompassing
topology optimization, finite element methods, and structural modeling.
In addition, we are focusing on inverse design of structures that exhibit new functions, and are designing structures such as
invisibility cloaking for making an object transparent and
source illusions for location camouflage.
In the course of these studies, students learn programming and parallel computing techniques for utilizing multi-core computers, and contribute to the development of optimal design codes based on mathematical models. Our laboratory aims to solve challenging problems in structural optimization, including issues such as multimodality, the curse of dimensionality, and high material parameter ratios. To help realize unprecedented and innovative functions, we work diligently and steadily, and, above all, enjoy research every day.
