Welcome to the Laboratory for Intelligent Structural Technology (LIST) at the University of Michigan. Our state-of-the-art laboratory is dedicated to the creation of smart structure technologies for the next-generation of engineered structures. To advance structural health monitoring as a viable structural asset management tool, students and faculty are engaged in the design of wireless sensors, distributed data interrogation algorithms for dense sensor networks, microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensors and multifunctional materials tailored at the micro- and nano-scales. Other laboratory research thrusts include the exploration of decentralization in control and damage detection algorithms.

The laboratory is proud to synergistically collaborate with research teams within the University of Michigan as well as those outside. At the University of Michigan, LIST researchers are working closely with researchers from:

In addition to collaborators on-campus, the vitality of LIST research is greatly enhanced by joint research with the following group of international collaborators:

Our research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, Michigan Department of Transportation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies.
