Are you passionate about applying artificial intelligence to revolutionize traditional manufacturing processes? We are looking for a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our multidisciplinary team, working at the intersection of AI and mechanical engineering. In this exciting role, you will contribute to the development of innovative AI-based surrogate models that significantly accelerate forging process simulations, optimize manufacturing parameters, and reduce dependency on computationally expensive simulations.
This position offers the opportunity to work with leading experts, access state-of-the-art computational resources, and contribute to high-impact research that bridges academia and industry. If you have a strong background in AI, machine learning, and a keen interest in real-world applications, we encourage you to apply and be part of this exciting journey.
Manufacturing process optimization is a critical challenge in the modern industrial landscape, particularly in high-precision industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy. Current methodologies in processes like forging rely heavily on computationally expensive simulations based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) or Finite Element Method (FEM), which require significant computational resources and expert knowledge. These traditional methods lead to prolonged development cycles and increased costs. The demand for rapid and accurate process optimization solutions is increasing, driven by the need to reduce time-to-market and production costs while maintaining high-quality standards.
This project aims to develop a novel AI-driven solution to revolutionize forging process optimization by leveraging surrogate modeling techniques. The objective is to create an AI-based tool that can:
