SUMMARY:MAE Seminar: Additive Manufacturing Enabled Excellence in Research\
 , Education\, and Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Additive Manufacturing Enabled Excellence in Research\, Educati
 on\, and Economic Development\nTuesday\, January 31\, 2023\, at 12:50 pm\n
 Location: In-Person MAE-A\, Room 303\nRyan Wicker\, Ph.D.\, P.E.\nMr. and 
 Mrs. MacIntosh Murchison Chair I Professor and Director\nW.M. Keck Center 
 for 3D Innovation\nUniversity of Texas at El Paso\nAbstract\nThe Keck Cent
 er for 3D Innovation\, originally founded in 2000 and recently celebrated 
 a groundbreaking on a new $80M building (shared with the Aerospace Center)
  at The University of Texas at El Paso\, represents a world-class advanced
  manufacturing research facility that focuses on the use and development o
 f additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for fabricating 3D objects that
  are plastic\, metal\, ceramic\, of bio-compatible materials\, composite m
 aterials\, or that contain electronics. The Keck Center has always promote
 d student engagement\, professional development\, and success through a co
 mmitment to strategic research excellence\, providing its student particip
 ants with unparalleled educational opportunities. As an example\, advanced
  research in Laser Powder Bed Fusion AM of metals requires expertise acros
 s many disciplines\, requiring advanced knowledge in experimental fluid me
 chanics\, non-contact temperature measurements\, microsecond level control
 \, materials and metallurgy\, data science and management\, and more. As t
 he criticality of components produced via these technologies continues to 
 increase\, understanding the key elements of the process and their interac
 tions that impact ultimate part performance is required to reduce processi
 ng variability and improve the repeatability and reproducibility of manufa
 ctured components. With student success\, research excellence\, and trust 
 but verified experimentation mindsets\, the Keck Center produces next-gene
 ration AM thinkers and doers with an approach rooted in fundamentals and p
 rocess transparency. Several examples of the breadth and depth of research
  enabled via AM will be provided. In addition to research and education\, 
 the Keck Center\, through UTEP’s outstanding students\, is driving a new
  economy in the El Paso region enabled through AM\, with its most recent s
 uccess being recognized as one of 21 regions (out of 529 initial applicati
 ons) awarded the Economic Development Administration’s American Rescue P
 lan’s Build Back Better Regional Challenge.\nBiography\nRyan Wicker\, Ph
 .D.\, P.E.\, is the endowed Mr. and Mrs. MacIntosh Murchison Chair I profe
 ssor of mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP
 )\, director and founder of the UTEP W.M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation (K
 eck Center) and America Makes Satellite Center\, and Editor-in-Chief and f
 ounding editor of Additive Manufacturing\, an Elsevier journal. Ryan recei
 ved degrees in mechanical engineering from The University of Texas at Aust
 in (B.S.\, 1987) and Stanford University (M.S.\, 1991\, and Ph.D.\, 1995)\
 , worked at General Dynamics Fort Worth Division (1987-1989)\, and has spe
 nt his entire academic career at UTEP (1994-present) in his hometown of El
  Paso. Ryan has co-founded three university spin-out companies\, holds 29 
 U.S. patents and nine foreign patents\, published hundreds of peer-reviewe
 d articles\, and has employed more than 500 student researchers in UTEP’
 s Keck Center with many of them becoming leaders in the additive manufactu
 ring industry.\nMAE Faculty Host: Yong Huang
