Advanced Manufacturing LaboratoryOpen OpportunitiesMeeting the demands of evolving manufacturing and environmental landscapes frequently entails the development of pioneering processes and materials. Yet, generating innovative materials presents its own set of challenges. This project necessitates the establishment of a methodology for producing rods and wires, facilitating the production of powder for novel alloys. To accomplish this task, a forging machine known as a round swage will be employed. The created rods and wires will be used to produce powder using Ultrasonic Plasma Atomizer (UPA) and the wires will be used as is for Directed Energy Deposition (DED), an additive manufacturing technology. - Alloy Materials, Composite Materials, Manufacturing Engineering

| The Advanced Manufacturing Lab (am|z) is excited to announce a thesis opportunity focusing on the development of a highly parallelizable modeling framework for additive manufacturing (AM) processes, particularly laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Our research primarily delves into advancing manufacturing techniques, with a special emphasis on additive manufacturing. We have developed a robust numerical simulation framework called iMFREE utilizing Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) for multi-physics applications like LPBF. However, there is a need to enhance computational efficiency, specifically through parallelization via Message Passing Interface (MPI). This project offers an excellent chance for students to deepen their knowledge in parallel computation while working hands-on with a mature computational framework. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| The Advanced Manufacturing Lab (am|z) specializes in additive manufacturing (AM). The project aims to improve the accuracy of iMFREE, an in-house developed simulation tool, using the discrete element method (DEM) for recoating in AM. Objectives include implementing a new model for twisting particles and a multi-sphere DEM. - Arithmetic and Logic Structures, Discrete Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Mathematical Sciences, Mathematical Software, Mechanical Engineering, Simulation and Modelling
