Joint MNE and EAS Seminar by Dr. Sofiane Guessasma

When: Tuesday, April 16, 2019
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Where: Textiles Building 105
Description: Joint Mechanical Engineering (MNE) and Engineering and Applied Sciences (EAS) SEMINAR

DATE:
April 16, 2019

TIME:
3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

LOCATION:
Textile Building, Room 105A (CSCVR)

SPEAKER:
Dr. Sofiane Guessasma
INRA, Research Unit Biopolymers, Interactions & Assemblies, Nantes, France

TOPIC:
Additive Manufacturing: a Breakthrough Technology for Manufacturing

ABSTRACT:
Additive manufacturing (AM) is on its way to become the next industrial revolution. The growing interest on the subject has undoubtedly attracted many scientists in diverse areas of expertise. This attractively is justified by the large degree of freedom allowed by these technologies to design features of unequalled level of complexity with limited dependence on tooling. This seminar will briefly introduce the types of AM technologies available today. It will also address the new trends in additive manufacturing, manufacturing concepts, process optimization, materials for 3D printing, designs, and microstructural interpretation of the mechanical characterization of 3D printed parts.

BIO:
Sofiane GUESSASMA is a mechanical engineering scientist. He is presently a senior scientist at INRA (France) conducting a research activity in the field of additive manufacturing of bio sourced materials. He is a former research scientist at Cambridge University, UK, and a current by-fellow at Churchill College, university of Cambridge, UK since 2014. He is also a high-end foreign expert at Northwestern Polytechnical University, China. He has a key interest on hot topics in mechanical engineering, processing and materials science. He has several contributions related to the microstructural interpretation of material performance, mechanical modelling, image analysis, and in-situ experiments. He published over 120 papers in different research fields.
