Assistant Professor

Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA


Based at Purdue, the Liddell research group applies interdisciplinary engineering approaches to address multiscale research challenges in manufacturing sustainability and mechanics of multilayered systems. Our group includes members from the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Environmental & Ecological Engineering.

Some of our current research interests include:

  • industrial decarbonization strategies
  • environmental life cycle assessment for early-stage manufacturing technologies
  • sustainable supply chains and circularity
  • energy and environmental consequences of the electric vehicle transition
  • fracture mechanics in multilayer systems
  • adhesion of paints and coatings
