ÖRG's Mission

ÖRG's mission is to conduct impactful application driven research at the intersections of thermofluids, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, and optimization and control of industrial processes involving thermofluids.

ÖRG strives to:

develop novel experimental and computational research tools for studying complex multiphase flow phenomena,
leverage the research tools for studying a broad range of topics including but not limited to additive manufacturing technologies (e.g., cold spray, wire-arc DED),
develop novel processing equipment and technologies including but not limited to processing of novel materials using additive manufacturing methods,
study in-situ and ex-situ multimodal sensing, monitoring, and process qualification methods to couple with artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for physics-informed process monitoring and control,
develop new additive manufacturing-based applications and qualification and standardization procedures,
disseminate knowledge to the scientific and engineering community, engage in undergraduate and graduate education, and inspire our next generation through outreach activities that are geared towards individuals with a wide range of backgrounds.

ÖRG Vision

ÖRG's vision is to become a go-to resource for conducting research at the intersections of thermofluids, additive manufacturing, advanced materials, and optimization and control of industrial processes (e.g., additive manufacturing); and to advance additive manufacturing and the fabrication of advanced materials through additive manufacturing to address current and future manufacturing and materials challenges.
