Welcome

The AIMS Lab at the University of Michigan is run by Daniel J. Inman.

We advance the field of aerospace engineering by investigating adaptive, intelligent, and multifunctional systems.

Research

“If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance”
— Orville Wright

It is the culmination of the study of controls, fluid dynamics, structural dynamics, and materials science that make up aerospace engineering as a whole. What makes the AIMS Lab unique is that our research embraces many of these fields. We strive to develop innovative and novel solutions to complex aerospace engineering dilemmas via smart materials and structures. We take a multidisciplinary approach by working at the intersection of simulated and experimental structural dynamics.
