Manufacturing Processes, Precision Engineering, Automation & Predictive Maintenance Research Group
High-precision manufacturing, automation, and predictive maintenance to improve machine reliability.
This group sits at the intersection of high-precision manufacturing and machine reliability, working at scales from full production lines down to micro- and nano-scale material fabrication. The core question is how to make machines run more precisely, fail less often, and — when they do fail — be predicted ahead of time, before a small issue becomes a costly one.
Research spans geometric error compensation for CNC machines and industrial robots, micro-electro-discharge machining of specialty alloys used in aerospace components, nanostructure fabrication for biosensors, and reliability analysis feeding into preventive-maintenance plans for equipment that simply cannot afford to go down.
Real-world applications span heavy industry — cement production, automotive parts — precision electronics that demand micron-level accuracy, and national infrastructure like the railway system, showing how the group's work in precision engineering and automation scales from the smallest component to the largest piece of infrastructure.
