Congratulations to the PhD student Molla Rahman! His paper titled “Automatic Clustering of Sequential Design Behaviors Based on Function-Behavior-Structure Ontology” is accepted by the ASME 2018 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE 2018). The conference will be held at Quebec City, Canada this year from August 26-29. Molla will go to the conference and present his research on sequential decision making and system thinking in engineering design.

In addition, we have two more papers accepted. The first one is titled “Modeling Participation Behaviors in Design Crowdsourcing Using A Bipartite Network-Based Approach“. This study was conducted in collaboration with the research assistant Ashish Chaudhari and Prof. Panchal from Purdue University.

The second one is titled “Modeling Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity Customer Preferences in Engineering Design“. This study was conducted in collaboration with the postdoctoral fellow Dr. Youyi Bi and Prof. Wei Chen from Northwestern University.

Our PhD student Laxmi Poudel has received the NSF-sponsored Student Travel Awards to attend the NAMRC 46/MSEC 2018 conference in College Station, Texas from June 18 to June 22, 2018. Laxmi will present his research in understanding the “Mechanical Strength of Chunk-Based 3D Printed Parts for Cooperative 3D Printing“. This paper will appear on the journal, Procedia Manufacturing, soon. Congratulations to Laxmi!

Congratulations to the PhD student Laxmi Poudel! His paper titled “Mechanical Strength of Chunk-Based 3D Printed Parts for Cooperative 3D Printing” is accepted by the 46th SME North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC 46). The conference will be held at Texas A&M University this year in Jun. 18-22. Laxmi will go to the conference and present his research on cooperative 3D printing.

Our paper titled “Predicting Products’ Co-Considerations and Market Competitions for Technology-driven Product Design: A Network-based Approach” is accepted by Design Science, and will be archived in the Thematic Collect of Network-based Modeling and Analysis in Design.

The University of Southern California, with funding support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), will be hosting a six-day Summer School in June 2018 that will introduce graduate students to the foundations of decision making in systems engineering and design. Click here for more details. 

Our Ph.D. student Laxmi Poudel has received scholarship to attend this event. Congratulations to Laxmi!
