Area: Laser/Arc-based additive manufacturing (AM), Metals, Processing science, In-situ monitoring and control, Robots for manufacturing, Machine learning/Generative AI, Digital twin for materials deposition
Vision: We explore novel manufacturing technologies, in-situ X-ray/sensor characterization, robotics, automation system, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to accelerate the additive/advanced manufacturing process and print advanced metallic materials. These innovations will help understand materials formation physics under energy beams and create novel materials, improve quality, reduce waste, and achieve a high level of automation for additive/advanced manufacturing processes.
The main thrusts are (1) how to develop intelligent AI and robotic automation systems to meet the demands of future manufacturing; (2) how to develop the digital twin and foundation models for autonomous and scalable manufacturing technologies; and (3) how to improve alloy “printability” under unpredictable manufacturing conditions with composition refinements and in-situ control of energy-beam induced physics.
University: UL Lafayette is designated by Carnegie R1 University – “Doctoral University - Very High Research Activity” (total 137 in US as of 2021). The largest enrollment university within the nine-campus University of Louisiana System. The College of Engineering has over 1600 students, and offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in all engineering departments. ME department is the largest department in the College, with focus areas including renewable energy, manufacturing, robotics, materials and biomedical engineering.
Lafayette: Lafayette, LA is an exciting community within Louisiana's beautiful Cajun Country. It serves as the energy, financial, retail and medical center for South-Central Louisiana. Lafayette is located midway between New Orleans and Houston and is the heart of Louisiana's Cajuns region, and is one of Louisiana's fastest-growing metropolitan areas.
