Welcome back! We are looking forward to watching everyone's research progress and excited to see familiar faces! (CMML alum Frank Brinkley featured below with the WAAM system)

We are excited to spotlight David Failla (David Failla Jr.), Ph.D. Candidate in CMML and a SMART Scholar (SMART Scholarship). His work is a combined experimental and FE modeling investigation into functionally graded AM structures for high-rate loading applications!

This week, we spotlight Matthew Register (Matt Register), Ph.D. student. His research is on FE modeling of WAAM for process parameter optimization and reducing as-built residual stresses. He has a B.S. in Biomed Eng., so he is also supporting our bio-related FE efforts!

I am happy to present CMML’s first lab poster, highlighting our current graduate students and research areas 😎

This week's CMML researcher spotlight features Logan Betts, PhD student in Michael W. Hall School of Mechanical Engineering. Logan is examining a variety of phenomena related to FE modeling of AM, with recent work focusing on simulation speed-up with GPUs.

Congrats to @livviesinclair, CMML undergraduate researcher, for being elected as senior maid for this year’s homecoming! Michael W. Hall School of Mechanical Engineering
