Job description

About the Research

This project will encompass modeling of quantitative parts performance relationships using state‑of‑the‑art machine‑learning technologies and tools. In traditional design, process optimization and part optimization are performed independently, ignoring the inherent dependence of materials and part properties on processing conditions. In this project, ML models will extract cross‑property and inverse functions in a holistic framework of the scientific design and production process.
