The fields of expertise of the research team of McGill are: multidisciplinary design optimization of complex engineering systems; simulation-based engineering design; uncertainty quantification; optimization theory and algorithms; decomposition and coordination methods; design validation; platform-based product families, systems of systems and product-service systems; transportation (automotive and aerospace) and energy systems. One experienced researcher in the field of multidisciplinary design optimization will transfer knowledge in these research fields
The fields of expertise of the research team of USM are: on computer modelling – under extreme load cases of structural systems considering both geometric and material nonlinearities; development and application of nonlinear analysis methods for performance-based earthquake design. Two experienced and eight early stage researchers in the field of performance-based earthquake design will travel in order to transfer knowledge in these research fields
The fields of expertise of the research team of JUST are: design of steel structures and conducting experimental work in the structural lab along with structural optimization. Two experienced and two early stage researchers in the field of design of steel structures will travel in order to transfer knowledge in this research field
