About ICMD Lab
Our overall research goal is to construct robust and comprehensive process-structure-property relationships to conduct systematic process and materials design for advanced manufacturing processes. To do so, we develop and integrate novel multiscale multiphysics simulation models and physics-informed machine learning models at different time- and length-scales. Current primary research topics include but not limited to:
• Process monitoring and control for digital twins in metal additive manufacturing
• Multiscale multiphysics modeling and simulation for metal additive manufacturing
• Physics-informed machine learning
• Optimization and uncertainty quantification
