Advanced Laser Manufacturing Experience in China

| Abstract | We report our trip to China for advanced laser manufacturing in the Laboratory for Laser Intelligent Manufacturing at the Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. Both the PI and the graduate student had extensive interactions with the researchers in the host institution during the IREE program. The PI was invited for a lecture in laser nanomanufacturing and the graduate student conducted 11-week research in laser direct fabrication of metallic parts in free-form in the host institution. This experience will enhance our current NSF award by learning new laser manufacturing processes, systems, and applications. From this experience, we plan to launch larger programs like organizing US-China workshops in laser manufacturing by inviting leading researchers in this field from both countries, and establishing a long-term exchange programs in collaboration. |
