Multi-material engineering is emerging as a key enabler for next-generation aerospace and energy systems. Current research spans a wide range of material combinations, including metal-metal, metal-magnetic, ceramic-ceramic, and metal-ceramic systems, each offering unique opportunities to tailor mechanical, thermal, magnetic, and functional properties. By strategically integrating dissimilar materials, these multi-material approaches enable performance levels that are unattainable with single-material solutions, opening new pathways for advanced applications. Here are some active projects going on:
