Three MAESTRO graduate students presented their work at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Materials and Manufacturing Directorate Summer Student Poster Session on August 5th, 2021. Incoming Master’s student Jared Lilly discussed his efforts on designing bending cylinders for high-temperature environments, current Master’s student Jessica Zamarripa presented her work on extending SPIDRS L-System encodings to circuit design and fabricating flexible capacitors, and current PhD student Patrick Walgren discussed novel reduced order design methods for efficient structural optimization. Great job guys!

Efficient and interpretable reduced order modeling of nonlinear structures.
