RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
at
Cranfield university,
UK
A number of research opportunities (PhD and others) are
arising at the School of Industrial and Manufacturing
Science in the following areas:
1. Conceptuel Design of High Precision Machines
The objective of the research is to develop a software system
to integrate error budgeting in the conceptual design of
High Precision (HP) machines. The research will capture existing
knowledge and develop a knowledge based system that will help in
the design of customised but low risk and less expensive HP
machine. A high level industrial interaction would be essential.
2. Engineering Design Optimisation using Evolutionary Computing
The work will look into possible use of evolutionary computing
technique for surface optimisation within CATIA CAD/CAM environment.
The research will investigate on Genetic Algorithms, Simulated
Annealing, Surface quality evaluation, and multi-objective
optimisation. The research will take place in close collaboration
with industries.
We are looking for students with either mechanical engineering,
Machine Tools, CAD/CAM, AI background and having interests in
engineering design. Suitable candidates are invited to submit
their CV for an informal discussion over telephone or email.
Please note that the funding is restricted to British Nationals,
for EU students only fees can be paid from the funding.
For informal enquiries, please contact:
