Abstract

The field of adaptive structures and materials systems is multi-faceted and multidisciplinary, and therefore is poised to play a prominent role in the future of engineering research and technology development. In fact, many of our community members are already comfortable working across disciplines and institutional boundaries in convergent research teams. This presentation will highlight some my own work and experiences in collaborative research teams, specifically in the optimal design of adaptive structures targeted at applications ranging from aerospace systems to medical devices. Some projections and suggestions for future research directions to continue the positive trajectory of our research community will be addressed as well.
