Yuri Bazilevs Research Group

Vanderbilt University

Can AI‑enabled, physics‑based simulation accelerate engineering design and analysis across scales and industries? Bazilevs develops isogeometric analysis and high‑performance computational mechanics methods for structural analysis, fluid–structure interaction, and design‑through‑analysis workflows. The research applies advanced simulation to aerospace composites, naval and undersea engineering, and multidisciplinary engineering problems using HPC methods. At Vanderbilt he is charged with building an AI‑enabled center (SCALES) to integrate physics‑based simulation and machine learning for interdisciplinary engineering research and graduate education. The group pursues algorithm development and large‑scale simulation to improve design accuracy and computational efficiency.
