  3. MMAE Seminar - Dr. Kemper Lewis - Data-Driven Design Analytics to Support Intelligent Design and Manufacturing

Armour College of Engineering's Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering Department will welcome Dr. Kemper Lewis, Professor and Chair of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Director of Sustainable Manufacturing and Advanced Robotic Technologies (SMART) Community of Excellence at the University at Buffalo – SUNY, on Wednesday, September 12th, to present his lecture, Data-Driven Design Analytics to Support Intelligent Design and Manufacturing.

Abstract

Data analytics continues to revolutionize business, transportation, finance, energy, and commerce and now design analytics is starting to shape more intelligent product design and manufacturing. In this seminar, Prof. Lewis will discuss the development of design analytics platforms that strategically provide advanced decision support in product design and manufacturing. The first leverages consumer analytics and machine learning, integrating qualitative perceptual data and quantitative use data captured from embedded product sensors. The second leverages component geometry, material characteristics, and additive manufacturing capabilities to provide data-driven geometric reasoning support. Both are positioned to demonstrate the capabilities of design analytics in the emerging Industry 4.0 paradigm.
