Registration: Modeling of Ultrasonic Welding of Plastics and 3D Printing Consolidation

Featuring: Lokesh Karthik Narayanan, Assistant Professor
Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, North Dakota State University

As a researcher, Dr. Narayanan’s research interests centers on the development of scalable 3D biofabrication processes that enable the manufacturing of engineered tissues. Through his research, he is addressing the issues that hinder the translation of processes to the industry such as scalability and quality control. His latest research investigates the use of impedance sensing to monitor the biological quality characteristics of engineered tissue. His vision is to model the process function relationships and engineer semi-autonomous cyber-physical systems for tissue and biomedical device manufacturing.

Dr. Narayanan has served as the instructor for core manufacturing and design courses at NC State and teaches CAD/CAM (IME 380) and automation (IME 482) at NDSU. He is a member of the Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE), Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), and is a member of the student relations committee in the national chapter of SME.

Participant interaction and questions will be encouraged.

This edition of Virtual Collaborations will be available to UIA members at $50 / students at $25 / nonmembers at $75.
