Research projects in this laboratory focus on improving materials processing capabilities by applying a controls-based approach that achieves greater control of material microstructure as well as improving yield and maximizing production rate. Our control based approach includes process modeling, experimentation, sensor development, as well as system and control design and implementation. Research projects, typically conducted with industry partners, span a range of application areas including developing enhanced materials processing capabilities for opto-electronic applications, advanced engines, power systems and cutting tools. Ongoing research projects include real-time control for plasma spray, e-beam and chemical vapor deposition, and Czochralski crystal growth.
