Dimitris C. Lagoudas

Dr. Lagoudas is the John and Bea Slattery Chair of Aerospace Engineering Director for the Texas Institute for Intelligent Bio-Nano Materials and Structures for Aerospace Vehicles (TiiMS) at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas.
He is currently serving as Director for the newly established Texas Institute for Intelligent Bio-Nano Materials and Structures for Aerospace Vehicles, Chair of the Executive Committee of the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering and as an Associate Vice President for Research.
His research involves the design of multifunctional systems at nano, micro, meso and macro levels with appropriate methods developed to bridge the various length scales.
This research will develop multifunctional hierarchical structural materials systems that will carry structural loads; store electrical energy; assist in thermal management; and protect against low and high velocity impact.
Additionally, multifunctional porous shape memory alloys at the micro scale will be developed and then integrated into smart structures relevant to multifunctional lightweight space applications.
