BACKGROUND
This is a research project taken in the Digital Manufacturing Lab led by Prof. Charlie Wang. The project aims to a computational kernel to effectively generate optimised structure and toolpaths for robot-assisted additive manufacturing with dynamically changed material accumulation directions. This research will be conducted in the School of Engineering at the University of Manchester, and is funded by the University of Manchester and the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Overall Purpose of the Job
The role of the post-doctoral research associate is to engage in developing new computational algorithm and formulation for generating optimised toolpath and motion of machines while incorporating the manufacturing constraints. Candidate should have a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering and strong research record in computational design, digital manufacturing, geometric processing, intelligent mechatronics, or robotics. Excellent skills in C++ programming and mathematics formulation are expected.
