About

Welcome to the Structures and Composites Laboratory (SACL) in the Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at Stanford University!

Integrating sensing, computing, and energy storage, SACL looks to pave the way to a future of intelligent multifunctional structural design. SACL's cutting-edge research spans from biomimetic stretchable sensor networks to structurally integrated Lithium-ion batteries, to Structural Digital Twin — enabled by blending expertise from areas such as composite design, composite manufacturing, optimization, microfabrication, machine learning & data-driven modeling, physics-based simulations, and more. SACL strives to enhance safety, performance, reliability, and sustainability of vehicles (ground, air, and space) and structures, and design methods, prototypes, and tools to transform current technologies.
