These science-based digital models enable the virtual design of machine tools\, as well as the simulation\, optimization\, and o nline monitoring of machining operations. The models predict cutting force s\, torque\, and power consumption during machining by considering materia l properties\, cutter geometry\, structural flexibility\, and cutting cond itions along the tool path. The dynamics of servo drive control systems an d trajectory generation of machine tools are also considered.\n\nAn in-hou se-developed virtual and real-time CNC system enables the design and analy sis of any five-axis machine tool controller. The virtual machining system simulates the process and adjusts the feed rate along the tool path withi n a CAM environment. The system is also used for online monitoring and con trol of machine tools and machining processes by communicating with the CN C in real time as a digital twin.\n\nThe laboratory also develops mechatro nics systems and precision actuators to damp vibrations and machine tool c ontrol.\n\nThe presentation will provide an overview of the fundamental re search conducted in our laboratory and its industrial applications.\n\nBio graphy\nProfessor Altintas obtained his Bachelor's from Istanbul Technical University (1975)\, M.Sc. (1980) from the University of New Brunswick and Ph.D. (1987) from McMaster University in Canada. He worked as a machine t ool manufacturing engineer in Turkey (1977-1978)\,  process development e ngineer in Pratt &\; Whitney Canada in Montreal (1980-1981)\, and serve d as the principal engineer of the Canadian Institute of Metalworking at M cMaster University in Hamilton (1981-1982). He joined The University of Br itish Columbia and founded Manufacturing Automation Laboratory in 1986. He conducts research on metal cutting\, machine tool vibrations\, control\, sensors and actuators for machine tools\, and virtual machining. He has pu blished 234  archival journal and 100 conference articles with ~46\,500 c itations with an h index of 111 (Google Scholar)\, and a widely used “Ma nufacturing Automation: Principals of Metal Cutting Mechanics\, Machine To ol Vibrations and CNC Design. 1st ed. 2000\, 2nd ed.:2012 with Chinese (20 03\,2020) and Turkish (2017) Editions. He is the Chief Editor of CIRP Jour nal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering. His research laboratory crea ted advanced machining process simulation (CUTPRO)\, virtual part machinin g process simulation (MACHPRO) and open-modular 5-axis CNC system (Virtual CNC)\, which are used by over 300 companies and research centers in the f ield of machining and machine tools worldwide.\n\nProfessor Altintas is a fellow of Royal Society of Canada\, National Academy of Engineering (USA)\ , CIRP\, ASME\, SME\, ACATECH (Germany)\, European Academy of Engineering\ , CAE\, EC\, Tokyo University\, P&\;WC\, AvH and ISNM. He received Prat t &\; Whitney Canada’s (P&\;WC) university partnership (1997)\, AP EG BC’s Meritorious Achievement (2002)\, APEG BC R.H.
