CME focuses on the broad discipline of materials science and engineering. A significant focus of CME is on the development and application of Computer Aided Engineering solutions to materials-related processes. Verification and Validation of computational methods is key; therefore, the ability to generate experimental data is critical. Hence, CME team is also skilled at generating experimental data suitable for validation purposes.
CME follows a Materials 4.0 agenda in the development and application of intelligent approaches to solve materials science and engineering problems. Such areas of interest include image processing and classification, application of ML and digital twinning of material processes. Specific areas of interest include the fundamental solidification of metallic alloys, metallurgy, additive manufacturing including metal additive (Powder Bed fusion and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing), polymer and composites processing.
