Northwestern’s ME PhD propels researchers into hypersonic aerothermodynamics, soft-robotics biomechanics, and AI-driven manufacturing. Students run LES on GPU clusters, 3-D print metal lattice heat-exchangers, and design exoskeletons in partnership with the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. Commercialization fellowships translate prototypes into venture-backed cleantech.
Simulate hydrogen-combustor flame stability under high-pressure conditions
Design variable-stiffness soft grippers using magnetorheological elastomers
Optimize lattice heat-sinks for electric-vehicle inverters via topology-optimization
Develop data-driven digital twins for predictive maintenance of wind turbines
Model bio-inspired boundary-layer control on eVTOL winglets
Build a closed-loop exoskeleton controller minimizing metabolic cost in gait rehab
Investigate cryogenic cooling strategies for quantum computing packages
Implement reinforcement-learning flight control on autonomous fixed-wing UAVs
Characterize viscoelastic ink rheology for multi-material bioprinting
Evaluate thermo-acoustic energy harvesters for waste-heat recovery
Analyze acoustic metamaterials for urban noise mitigation walls
Prototype self-heating ice-drilling probes for Europa exploration
Simulate evaporative cooling of micro-droplet sprays in data centers
Assess lifecycle CO₂ savings of hydrogen-fueled turbine retrofits
