Joel C. Najmon's research is in mechanical and materials engineering, focusing on optimizing structural designs such as lattice structures, composite materials, and compliant mechanisms (flexible structures that move without traditional joints). Much of this work involves computational optimization methods to improve properties like energy absorption, heat transfer, and multi-objective performance trade-offs in engineered structures.
