Virtual Materials & Processes Design Laboratory · UNIST
From Å to fab,
simulation × AI.
VDLab combines computational science and AI to virtually design and optimize materials, processes, and equipment. Semiconductor manufacturing is our primary testbed, with the same methods extending to functional materials. Digital twins and Physical AI connect these models back to the physical world.
Engineering problems do not live at one scale.

In the engineering problems around us, the behavior of materials and processes is determined across scales, from atoms to equipment. VDLab connects these scales, from first-principles calculation to continuum analysis, with AI-based scale bridging, and on that foundation studies how to design and optimize semiconductor materials, processes, and equipment in the virtual world first. Our ultimate destination is Advanced Manufacturing AI: digital twins and Physical AI linking virtual models with physical systems, a game changer for advanced manufacturing. Watch us make it real!
우리 주변에서 마주하는 다양한 공학 문제에서, 소재와 공정의 거동은 원자에서 장비까지 여러 스케일에 걸쳐 결정됩니다. VDLab은 제일원리 계산부터 연속체 해석까지 서로 다른 스케일을 AI 기반 스케일 브리징으로 연결하고자 합니다. 이를 기반으로 반도체 소재·공정·장비를 가상 환경에서 먼저 설계하고 최적화하는 접근을 연구합니다. VDLab의 궁극적인 지향점은 첨단제조 AI, 곧 가상 모델과 물리 시스템을 연결하는 디지털 트윈과 Physical AI로 첨단 제조 산업의 게임 체인저를 현실로 만드는 것입니다. 저희의 도전을 지켜봐 주세요!
