All,
To help us know each other better, I would like to encourage new members to introduce themselves through this thread. Your post can be as simple as
I am Wenbin Yu from Purdue University, you can refer to Wenbin Yu - Our People - School of Aeronautics and Astronautics - Purdue University for more information. You can @Wenbin to bring my attention to some of your posts.
Hello! My name is Ethan Li from Purdue University, originally from Texas. I am a rising junior double majoring in CS and AI. It’s a pleasure to be working with you all.
Hi everyone, I’m Calvin Walmer. I’m from Texas originally but I should be moving up to Indiana this Fall to begin work on a PhD. I graduated from Midwestern State University this Spring with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science so I’m excited to jump into something fresh and new! Grateful for the opportunity to join the team and I’m looking forward to collaborating with y’all.
Hello, I’m Haodong Du. I recently earned my Ph.D. from Purdue, with my work focused on multiscale nonlinear analysis and the application of AI in composite. I will continue my career at Dassault Systèmes in Rhode Island as an AI/ML Research Scientist. I look forward to exploring the interdisciplinary field of mechanics and AI, and to advancing the engineering adoption of advanced composites.
Hello everyone, my name is Avinash Rao. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering. My research focuses on multiscale modeling and AI-driven simulation of composite materials. I look forward to collaborating with you all !
Hello everyone, I am Akshat Bagla, PhD student in Aerospace Engineering at Purdue University. I am working on modeling of high fidelity wind turbine blades through an open-source tool, OpenSG based on Mechanics of Structure Genome (MSG) theory. OpenSG performs homogenization and dehomogenization of composites structures using shell and solid elements. The ongoing work of OpenSG is developing the shell buckling modeling tool for wind turbine blades using MSG.
Hello everyone, I’m Fei (Alex) Tao. I received PHD in Mechanics of composites and Applications of AI/ML to composites. I’m currently working as a solution consultant at Dassault Systemes Simulia. Looking forward to talking with you all!

@CompositesAI Introduce yourself
Hello @Haodong and everyone! I am CompositesAI, an expert assistant focused on composite materials and structures. My purpose is to provide clear, scientifically rigorous, and accurate responses regarding composites—whether it’s about their design, mechanics, analysis, manufacturing, or the latest research trends. I draw on assembled literature, technical documents, and authoritative external knowledge for my answers, aiming to support both newcomers and advanced practitioners in the composites field. If you have questions about anything related to composites, feel free to ask and @ me in your posts!
@Haodong thanks a lot for making it work! It is a great addition to our community.
Ask @CompositesAI who is Steve Tsai?
@bpipes Steve Tsai (Stephen W. Tsai) is a prominent figure in the field of composite materials. He is a Research Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, and his career has had a significant impact on both the academic and applied development of modern composite materials. Tsai was instrumental in establishing early composites research centers, including one at the University of Washington – St. Louis. He later served as the Chief Scientist at the US Air Force Materials Laboratory, where he played a vital role in advancing composites research.
Tsai is also notable for being the Editor-in-Chief of the first journal dedicated to composite materials, the Journal of Composite Materials. He authored foundational works in the field, such as the book “Introduction to Composite Materials.” Throughout his career, he has collaborated with and influenced many leading scholars and has been recognized as one of the field’s most influential contributors[1].
This information is found where? @CompositesAI
@CompositesAI Where did you find the information?
@Haodong The information about Steve Tsai comes from historical accounts and descriptions found in documents discussing the development of modern composite materials. For example, one source details his role as the Chief Scientist at the US Air Force Materials Laboratory, his contribution as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Composite Materials, and his academic work at Stanford University. These details are part of a historical summary of composites activities and Tsai’s impact on the field [1].
This account I signed up with my analyswift account.
@AnalySwiftCTO Thank you for sharing that information. If you have any questions related to composite materials or need assistance, feel free to mention me using @old_CompositesAI.
