Amit Bandyopadhyay Research Group

Metal additive manufacturingAlloy designMulti-material structures

Amit Bandyopadhyay · Professor

Bandyopadhyay uses additive manufacturing to investigate materials whose composition and structure can be designed together. His research includes metal printing, biomedical devices, and structures combining multiple materials. WSU describes work on using three-dimensional printing to create new alloys and control desired functionality, extending the question beyond reproducing an existing part. Researchers interested in manufacturing can explore how a printing process changes which material combinations are possible and how those combinations serve demanding applications. The group connects materials science, process design, and engineered structures with biomedical and broader engineering uses.

Anjan Bose Research Group

Power systemsGrid controlState estimation

Anjan Bose · Professor

Bose studies how large electric power networks can be understood and controlled as interconnected systems. His research spans power-system analysis and operation, with computing and measurements helping frame the condition of a grid. WSU lists work on a distributed, two-level state estimator based on phasor measurement units, alongside a longstanding focus on control of large grids. For researchers drawn to electrical infrastructure, the central challenge is system-wide coordination: individual measurements and local behavior must be turned into information that supports decisions across a much larger network.

Janardhan Rao Doppa Research Group

Artificial intelligenceAdaptive experimental designEngineering optimization

Janardhan Rao Doppa · Professor

Doppa develops artificial intelligence methods that help decide what to design or test next. His research connects structured machine learning and adaptive experimental design with scientific discovery and engineering optimization. WSU describes applications in hardware design, nanoporous materials, drug discovery, three-dimensional printing, cybersecurity, and agriculture. His faculty site also discusses theory-guided learning for managing system performance, power, and temperature. The distinctive opportunity is working on AI that guides expensive research and design choices, where learning algorithms must account for objectives and constraints beyond predictive accuracy alone.

Susmita Bose Research Group

Bone scaffoldsBiomaterials3D printing

Susmita Bose · Professor

Bose investigates materials that can help repair bone while interacting with living tissue. Her research includes three-dimensional printing of ceramic and ceramic-polymer scaffolds, modifying the surfaces of load-bearing metal implants, and studying how bone cells respond to these materials in vitro. Other directions connect natural medicinal compounds with drug-delivery vehicles and investigate microwave and plasma processing. The work combines chemistry, materials science, and biomedical engineering around a practical design challenge: controlling both the physical structure of an implant and the biological response at its surface.

Yuehe Lin Research Group

Functional nanomaterialsBiosensorsElectrocatalysis

Yuehe Lin · Professor

Lin engineers functional nanomaterials for problems spanning biological measurement, environmental monitoring, and energy conversion. His research includes immunosensors, paper-based and microfluidic biosensors for detecting biomarkers, and materials for imaging and drug delivery. Other directions investigate water monitoring and treatment, fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and electrochemical catalysis. The common thread is designing and characterizing a material so that its nanoscale properties support a useful device or reaction. This offers a research bridge between analytical chemistry and materials engineering, with several concrete application areas rather than a single generic nanotechnology theme.
