Modeling and Optimization in Manufacturing

Jianguo Lin is a Professor and Head of Mechanics of Materials Division in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, UK. He has done postdoctoral research at University of Sheffield and University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. Prof. Lin is also Honorary Professor at University of Birmingham. Prof. Lin's research focuses on materials and process modeling, solid/computational mechanics, and their applications in advanced plasticity manufacturing technologies. He has developed a method for predicting different types of metal failure mechanisms. Prof. Lin's work has applied in forming lightweight complex panel shapes for automotive, aerospace and other transportation industries. Jun Jiang is a Lecturer of Mechanics of Materials Division in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, UK. He received his DPhil from Oxford University in 2013 and joined Imperial College as postdoctoral researcher. Dr. Jiang's research focuses on developing novel manufacturing techniques through the understanding of micro-thermomechanical behaviors for lightweight alloys and solar cells. Catalin Pruncu is a Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, UK. He received his PhD in Design Mechanics and Biomechanics from Politecnico di Bari, Italy in 2013. He then joined University of Birmingham to become Research Fellow in the School of Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Pruncu's research applies mechanical principles and design methodologies to solve problems in material behavior produced by metal forming processes.
