Presidential Faculty Fellows Awards: Thermal Manufacturing and Prototyping Program

9553038 Doumanidis总统学院研究员奖是为了表彰Doumanidis博士在快速成型技术的教育和研究创新方面的卓越表现。他的研究创新和发现计划侧重于新的热快速成型工艺。Doumanidis将使用光学和热反馈对扫描的传热和传质过程进行分布式参数控制，以构建几何形状并调节通过快速原型生产的部件的材料结构。与这一创新研究计划相辅相成的是一项平衡的教育计划，旨在激励一年级大学生和引导在职教师学习技术，包括原型设计、家用机器人和制造自动化研讨会，这些都是实现这些目标的手段。在PFF提名中，研究和教育的连贯计划继续保持着作为学者和教育家的成就和领导的非常富有成效的记录。在快速成型这一肥沃的研究领域，新发现的可能性很大，加上杜曼尼迪斯博士的教育计划，以帮助未来几代技术学生的教师，将对开发人力资源和提高当今技术社会的竞争力产生影响。＊＊＊

9553038 Doumanidis This Presidential Faculty Fellow award is for Dr. Doumanidis's excellence in education and research innovations in rapid prototyping technology. His plan for research innovation and discovery focuses on new thermal rapid prototyping processes. Doumanidis will use optical and thermal feedback for distributed parameter control of scanned heat and mass transfer processes to build geometry and regulate the material structure of parts produced by rapid prototyping. Complementing this innovative research plan is a balanced educational plan to motivate first year university students and orient in-service teachers towards technology, with prototyping, home robotics, and a manufacturing automation seminar the means to reach these objectives. The coherent plan of research and education in the PFF nomination continues an a very productive record of accomplishment and leadership as a scholar and educator. The high probability of new discovery in the fertile research area of rapid prototyping, plus Dr. Doumanidis's education plan to aid the teachers of future generations of students of technology, will have an impact on developing human resources and increasing competitiveness in today's technological society. ***
