Presented By: Aerospace Engineering
AE Chair's Distinguished Seminar Series: "Smart Additive Manufacturing"
Chinedum E. Okwudire
Abstract
There is a lot of excitement about the potential of smart manufacturing (aka Industry 4.0), with its associated technologies like cloud computing, big data analytics, artificial intelligence and IoT, to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. An excellent application for such “smart” technologies is the additive manufacturing, another area of Manufacturing that is gaining a lot of traction. In this talk, I will share some of my early work on smart additive manufacturing using a few case studies. I will also share an initiative I am leading on establishing a smart additive manufacturing education program at U-M. My goal is to excite you with our vision, get your feedback, and maybe bring some of you along on the journey.
About the Speaker...
Chinedum Okwudire received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 2009 and joined the Mechanical Engineering faculty at the University of Michigan in 2011. Prior to joining Michigan, he was the mechatronic systems optimization team leader at DMG Mori USA, based in Davis, CA. His research is focused on exploiting knowledge at the intersection of machine design, control and, more-recently, computer science, to boost the performance of manufacturing automation systems at low cost. Chinedum has received a number of awards including the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation; the Young Investigator Award from the International Symposium on Flexible Automation; the Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers; the Ralph Teetor Educational Award from SAE International; and the Russell Severance Springer Visiting Professorship from UC Berkeley. He has co-authored a number best paper award winning papers including the 2016 ASME Dynamic Systems and Controls Division’s Best Paper in Mechatronics Award. His recent work on boosting the speed of 3D printers at low cost through feedforward vibration compensation has been featured internationally in popular news media, including NASA Tech Briefs and Discovery Channel Canada.
