MMAE Seminar by Jonghyun Park: Multiscale Structural Control via Additive Manufacturing Process

Armour College of Engineering’s Department of Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering will welcome Jonghyun Park, associate professor in the Department Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, to present a lecture, “Multiscale Structural Control via Additive Manufacturing Process.”

The virtual seminar will take place on Wednesday, February 16, 2022, from 3:30–4:30 p.m. Contact Elena Magnus at magnus@iit.edu for the seminar details and a link to join.

Abstract

This talk will highlight several novel additive manufacturing (AM) processes and their modeling-based analysis, and how we utilize different manufacturing methods to control the macro-/micro-structures of target systems for various applications, including metallic structures, energy devices, and bioengineering. Despite its significant advantages, AM has several challenges, including slow process, lack of quality, and limitations in materials and applications. This talk will specifically focus on how those challenges can be addressed. This includes multiscale modeling approach for the laser-powder bed fusion (LPBF) process to understand its fundamental physics and process-property relationship; novel AM processes for energy and bio applications via various AM techniques; and other relevant research activities through modeling, material process, and manufacturing.

Biography

Jonghyun Park is an associate professor in the Department Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology. Before joining to Missouri S&T, he was an assistant research scientist in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. Prior to this, he spent two years as a postdoctoral research fellow after finishing his Ph.D. in the same department at Michigan in 2009. He spent five years with Hyundai Heavy Industry after finishing his B.S. and M.S. from Seoul National University in South Korea. His expertise includes advanced manufacturing for energy systems, energy materials, and multiscale/multiphysics modeling for energy and manufacturing. He is actively involved in multiple projects from diverse federal agencies and industry. He is a recipient for several awards, including being named a dean’s scholar, receiving a faculty research award, and receiving a research acceleration award. Currently, he is an associate editor in Frontiers in Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage and an academic editor in PLOS ONE.
