PhD in Mechanical Engineering

We are seeking a highly motivated candidate to undertake a PhD program titled "3D Temperature Field Reconstruction from Local Temperature Monitoring in Directed Energy Deposition." This exciting research opportunity focuses on advancing large-scale additive manufacturing using metal wire as feedstock and electric arc as the heat source. The project aims to develop an innovative and efficient method for reconstructing full 3D temperature fields from partial temperature measurements, utilising monitoring techniques deployable in industrial settings. This work will provide critical thermal insights for diagnosing and controlling defects and lay the foundation for a thermal physics-based approach to process qualification.
