M.Sc in materials engineering

Current role: project researcher; computed fluid dynamics and discrete element method simulation of powder particle behavior and laser-material interaction in additive manufacturing and laser welding. Teaching in metal additive manufacturing.

Current project: Metallituotteen uusi elämä (repair of metal products using DED processes)




Tutkimus

Researching simulation of PBF-LB/M and other AM processes; from powder particle behavior and the powder bed layering to the laser-material interaction. The work includes development of validation methods, powder particle characterization for parametrization, and development of discrete element simulation models, FEM, and CFD simulation models of the laser powder bed fusion process.



Opetus

Lecturing/lab supervision in courses "3D printing and additive manufacturing" and "Advanced additive manufacturing", "Teolliset valmistusmenetelmät".
