Description:
This team is to perform research work in the laser-based manufacturing and materials processing area, such as additive manufacturing involving ceramics and/or other topic(s). The research work is to address the technical challenges in the laser-based manufacturing process(es) and improve related fundamental understandings through experimental studies, workpiece material characterizations, theoretical analysis, and/or computational modeling. One potential topic is laser-based additive manufacturing involving ceramics that have many important current and/or future potential industrial applications.
Relevant technologies:
- 3D printing
- Additive Manufacturing
- Laser-based manufacturing
Prerequisites:
- Students must complete an application and be accepted before they can join this team. Interested students should contact the faculty mentor for details.
- It is preferred that the students should have strong hands-on skills, material science and/or thermal backgrounds.
Students will receive training on laser safety and laser operation before they do laser experiments, so a prerequisite skill of laser operation is not required.
