Engineering Research

Gerard Lorio believes passion and persistence go a long way in research and life. If you put in the work, he contends, opportunities will open up for you.

LSU Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor Chris Marvel and his fellow collaborators from Lehigh University, Ohio State University, and the Army Research Laboratory recently had their research on lightweight high entropy metallic alloys published in the Science journal.

LSU researchers have been awarded a $1.5 million Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems, or POSE, grant from the National Science Foundation to advance the ecosystem surrounding HPX, a software library developed at LSU. Their goal is a fast and energy-efficient solution to increase worldwide access to high-performance computing. Lack of access and performance currently limits the success and usefulness of emerging technologies, such as AI and machine learning, and computational modeling in almost every field.
