Ph.D. Position 1

As part of the recently established Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, I-Form (http://www.i-form.ie/), applications are invited for a PhD position in the area of product design and development utilising advanced additive manufacturing technologies.

Our objective is to use novel visualization and cognitive technologies to design and augment complex decision support and decision-making tools as part of cyber-physical control systems for advanced manufacturing applications, such as in additive manufacturing (3D -printing). The focus of our research will be to explore, develop and utilize state-of-the-art Computer Aided Design / Manufacturing (CAD / CAM) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in modern manufacturing applications. The research will exploit ideas from advanced visualisation, real-time data processing and analysis, machine learning and intelligent product design. Applications are sought from excellent candidates with a background in some, or all, of the above areas, for a position commencing in October 2018. The position will involve significant interaction with industrial partners.
