Ph D in Mechanical Engineering Research Title Physics-Informed Generative AI for Architected Materials Deadline The 1st of July 2026 Funded by The Italian Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AI4 I), in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano Websites R& D Labs - AI4 I SCHEDA_5470_MECC_PHYSICS-INFORMED_GENERATIVE_AI_FOR. PDF Position Description The Ph D scholarship is funded by the Italian Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AI4 I). The research will be carried out jointly at AI4 I and Politecnico di Milano. The project focuses on architected materials, also known as metamaterials. Architected materials are engineered systems whose exceptional properties originate from geometry rather than chemistry alone. By computationally designing their internal structure across scales, these materials can display unconventional mechanical, acoustic, or multifunctional behaviors. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and generative modelling have created new opportunities to accelerate their design and broaden the space of feasible, manufacturable architectures.



Data-driven approaches now enable the integration of heterogeneous requirements — from geometric and manufacturing constraints to target mechanical responses and multifunctional performance. Within this context, the Ph D project aims to develop foundation models for the design of architected materials. The main objective is to uncover new or unconventional physical behaviors and establish a unified framework for the design of high-performing, manufacturable metamaterials. Research Methods and Techniques The research will integrate physics-based simulation, generative AI, and formal representations of material architectures to develop a new class of models for the design of architected materials. Potential applications include vibration attenuation, impact protection, and acoustic filtering. Key methodologies could include: Generative deep learning models to support the creation of architected materials. Un
