Our speaker will present advances made by his group on the formulation of topology optimization techniques to design lightweight structures with superior performance. In these methods, the computer starts with a "blank" design and automatically determines the optimal shape of the structure given some design goal and requirements, usually producing organic or unintuitive designs that are highly structurally efficient.Julian Novato, School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Manufacturing Engineering, UConn
