And all that Matter

Faglige nøgleord: machine learning, solid state, crystal lattice, silicon, manufacturing industry

Oplæg tilgængeligt på: Engelsk og italiensk

The presentation will focus on the state of matter (solid, liquid) and especially the way atoms are arranged in the solid lattice for silicon. Differentiating between monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon, introducing the students to basic concepts of science of materials, giving them an insight on what mechanical engineers can work with and maybe help them decide which career path they want to follow. The PhD itself focuses on machine learning application in the manufacturing industry (monocrystalline silicon production) and is aimed at increasing production success rate to reduce waste of material and energy. I've studied mechanical engineering in Italy but moved to Copenhagen to work on my Master thesis project at DTU. Became a student assistant first, then research assistant working with resin 3D printing, post-curing and customizing machines by adding sensors and programming with arduino to collect data. Now the PhD is also heavily focused on data collection, but mostly data analysis to hopefully get a deeper understanding of the production process: why it works and why sometimes it doesn't.
