Dr. Qibang Liu, a Research Scientist at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), develops AI-driven frameworks that integrate physics, geometry, and high-performance computing to revolutionize materials and manufacturing. His research spans neural operator transformers, generative A for metamaterial design, and adaptive surrogates for polymerization, contact, and fracture mechanics. By coupling peridynamics, FEM, and deep learning, he enables faster, accurate simulation, design, and optimization of complex multiphysics systems
