| Abstract | ABSTRACT: This document reports on the international research experience funded by the IREE grant. This grant enbabled a research collaboration between the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech). The proposed research was to design, manufacture, and test a prototype deposition system for a rapid prototyping process. The deposition head was designed and manufactured at SIMTech and is currently being tested and evaluated at UIUC. The continuation of the project at UIUC is extending the collaboration and is expected to further benefit both institutions. An additional outcome of the IREE funded trip was the development of international research experience for the grantees, a valuable lesson considering the expansion of multinational corporations that need researchers with both technical skills and international experience. |

| Bio | David J. Hoelzle received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Ohio State University in 2005. He received his M.S. in Mechanical Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007. Currently he is pursuing a doctorate from the University of Illinois, working on a collaborative assignment with the Alleyne Research Group and the Applied Biomaterials and Biomechanics Lab led by Dr. Andrew Alleyne and Dr. Amy Wagoner Johnson, respectively. Prof. Andrew G. Alleyne received his B.S. in Engineering Degree from Princeton University in 1989 in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering in 1992 and 1994, respectively, from The University of California at Berkeley. He joined the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 1994 and is also appointed in the Coordinated Science Laboratory of UIUC. He is currently the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering and holds the Ralph M. and Catherine V. Fisher Professorship. Dr. Alleyne was awarded the ASME Dynamics Systems and Control Division's Outstanding Young Investigator Award in 2003 and was a Fulbright Fellow to the Netherlands where he held a Visiting Professorship in Vehicle Mechatronics at TU Delft. He is a Fellow of ASME. His research interests are a mix of theory and implementation with a broad application focus. In addition to research he has a keen interest in education and was recently awarded the UIUC College of Engineering's Teaching Excellence Award for 2008. Prof. Amy J. Wagoner Johnson received her BS in Materials Science and Engineering from Ohio State in 1996, and MS and PhD in Engineering from Brown University in 1998 and 2001, respectively, with a major in materials science and minor in mechanics. Her thesis topic was related to the deformation behavior of composites for ballistic applications. In August 2001 she joined the Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois as Research Faculty and joined as tenure-track faculty in May of 2005 where she now works in the area of bone tissue engineering. She received the Alice L. Jee Memorial Award at the Sun Valley Workshop on Skeletal Tissue Biology in 2008 and an Honorable Mention for the 2009 Early Career Faculty Fellow from the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society. She has affiliations with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, the Institute for Genomic Biology, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and the Department of Bioengineering at UIUC. Dr. Lin Wei obtained his B.Sc. degree from University College London, UK in 1985, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from University of Florida, in 1988 and 1992, respectively, all in mechanical engineering. He has been with the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology since 1992 and now is a Senior Scientist with the Mechatronics Group. Dr. Lin currently serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor at both National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His current research interests include large scale ultra-precision systems, and multi-scale manufacturing systems control and sensing. Dr. Tay Bee Yen graduated with Bachelor in Engineering (Hon) and Masters of Engineering from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University, respectively. Subsequently, she obtained her PhD in freeforming of ceramic by ink-jet printing from the Queen Mary College, University of London, UK in 2001. Since 2001 (after re-joining SIMTech), she has been conducting research in powder associated processing technologies for engineering metal and ceramic with different level of porosity from high porous to nearly full dense. She is a Research Scientist in SIMTech. Current research topics include nanostructured porous ceramic, micro powder injection moulding, processing of nanoparticle and manufacturing of large, dense ceramic frame. |
