Engineering

Building a Better World.
From the latest advances in scramjet technology to earth-bound builds that push the design limits.

We work with world-class partners to reach higher, go further and build smarter. Every day, we use sophisticated simulations and advanced modeling techniques to take Illinois innovation wherever it’s needed most.

Partnering with colleagues on campus, like the outstanding Grainger School of Engineering, as well as industry giants such as Rolls Royce and John Deere, NCSA helps push the boundaries of engineering with the application of high-performance computing at a massive scale. 

NCSA Spotlight

Elif Ertekin
Associate Professor, Mechanical Science and Engineering

Professor Ertekin works in computational materials science and mechanics to design new functional materials across a variety of applications.

Working with NCSA has helped my team produce software and simulation tools to help researchers improve our understanding of emerging nanomanufacturing processes.

Project Highlights

nanoHUB

Big leaps in technology often require major advances at the nanoengineering level. See how we’re doing that, creating a community with the software tools and training materials to take nanomanufacturing to the next level.
