Topic: Sustainable Frontiers in Precision Manufacturing and Engineered Surfaces

Abstract：

Precision manufacturing (PM) pushes the boundaries of traditional machining, molding, and forming by incorporating advanced techniques such as scanning lithography, diamond machining, and laser machining. These approaches leverage diamond tools and cutting-edge metrology to tackle “Beyond Moore” fabrication challenges. The emergence of hybrid manufacturing methods, which integrate intelligent techniques such as laser and vibration assistance although addressing many limitations of conventional machining but remains a costly proposition. The talk will introduce a novel, accessible alternative to these methods while exploring the new frontiers of PM, including its application in fabricating next-generation antimicrobial surfaces. The discussion will also emphasize the role of advanced computational techniques in understanding organic-inorganic interactions and highlight how Nature-inspired sustainable design and material development. Furthermore, breakthroughs in AI-driven approaches for creating environmentally friendly and sustainable materials will be showcased.
