LSDO Laboratory
Join the lab
Research in numerical methods, scientific computing, and engineering design.
Graduate research
Our research combines the development of computational methods with their implementation and evaluation on engineering problems. Projects often involve numerical optimization, differentiable modeling, multiphysics simulation, or scientific machine learning.
Prospective students can explore the methods, application studies, and software to identify connections with their interests. Applications to graduate study are submitted through the UC San Diego Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
Preparation
Useful preparation includes numerical methods, linear algebra, optimization, and experience developing scientific software. The lab’s work is collaborative: modeling decisions and numerical methods are considered together with the engineering questions they support.
Getting in touch
When contacting Prof. John Hwang, describe your research interests and the specific work that you would like to discuss. Please attach your CV and transcripts to your email.
