## Abstract

Fluid-structure interaction is an important and rapidly evolving field in computational engineering, with its outcomes driving significant advancements in sectors such as aerospace, renewable energy, and healthcare technology. Existing computational methods for solving fluid-structure interaction problems face limitations in scalability, energy efficiency, and integration of multi-physics components, restricting their applicability in complex real-world scenarios. This CAREER project aims to overcome these barriers by developing a scalable, open-source platform based on cutting-edge computational methods. The research focuses on enhancing the accuracy and computational performance of particle methods, enabling experimentally validated models for complex fluid-structure interaction scenarios. By providing this platform as an open resource, the project supports broader scientific progress and empowers engineers to design safer, more efficient systems in critical infrastructure. Integrated education and outreach plans bring new courses and projects on computational science, drawing students from diverse backgrounds into STEM fields and equipping them with the necessary skills to address complex societal issues. This project aligns with the mission of the National Science Foundation to advance science, support economic growth, and build a more inclusive STEM workforce.

The technical objective of this CAREER project is to develop a scalable, hardware-accelerated, open-source pl
