(Photo: ESI Group) The Endowed Chair created with CEU-UCH enables both ESI and the Spanish university to conduct, over the next 5 years, advanced research on the topic of virtual manufacturing. The University aims to advance the state of the art of modeling manufacturing processes, to expand its spectrum of competences, and to consolidate its position as a national and international leader in the fields of real time control and the numerical simulation of materials and manufacturing processes. To this initiative, ESI brings its expertise and its software platform for Smart Virtual Prototyping, in expectation of the further development of modeling techniques and numerical methodologies that provide the strong predictive capacity needed to optimize industrial processes and the performance of those processes over time. Antonio Falco Montesinos, Professor of Applied Mathematics at CEU-UCH, is appointed Chairman and the research operations of the Chair will be overseen by Anne Chambard, Systems Simulation Platform Product Manager at ESI Group. Over the next 5 years the following topics will be investigated, leveraging the competences available at CEU-UCH, ESI and national, European and international partners:
To support this new program, various cycles of continuous training on virtual manufacturing and advanced numerical simulation will be organized in collaboration within the CEU-UCH and their industrial partners. One important function of the Chair is to create an educational network of national and international experts to support this educational initiative. The joint program will also fund four PhD theses on the above research projects. Overall, these actions seek to address the current shortage of expertise in these critical domains. The creation of this latest endowed Chair strengthens the link between CEU-UCH and ESI and is complementary to the Chair with Centrale Nantes in France, currently held by, Teacher-Researcher Emmanuelle Abisset-Chavanne at Centrale de Nantes. In sponsoring both Chairs, ESI expresses its commitment to deepen scientific research for the benefit of all industries.
