"The time has come for engineers to be able to customize their material exactly to the piece they’re designing.

As the advent of flexible electronics attests, the materials with which things are made are at the root of today’s product innovations.

The Georgia Institute of Technology’s Multiscale Systems Engineering Research Group, where I’m a faculty member, is working to integrate the modeling and simulation features of today’s CAD with materials design capability. These integrated features would be available at the nano, meso, micro, and macro scales, which we call multiscale CAD"
