Abstract:
This presentation will focus on microstructure control in metal additive manufacturing. This will cover case studies leveraging the current capabilities, identifying opportunities for improving controllability, and the need for advanced process optimization and control strategies. The talk will highlight the critical need to work at the intersection of materials, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing to advance local microstructure control in manufacturing.
About Sneha Narra:
Sneha Prabha Narra's research focuses on investigating process-structure-property relationships in fusion-based metal additive manufacturing (AM) by integrating computational and experimental approaches. Sneha P. Narra received her B.E. in civil engineering from Osmania University (2012). She pursued graduate education at Carnegie Mellon University, where she obtained her M.S. in computational mechanics (2013), M.S. and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering (2015, 2017). She completed postdoctoral training at the NextManufacturing Center. She joined the CMU mechanical engineering department in 2021, after spending three years as an assistant professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. She is currently serving as the Associate Editor of the Additive Manufacturing journal and plays an active role in organizing symposia through the TMS Additive Manufacturing Bridge Committee.
