Research and Teaching Interest

The main research area is computer technologies in design and manufacturing. The first research field is engineering design and design automation, in which, feature based design, automatic design of assembly, CAD data validation, and assembly modeling and tolerance analysis are some of the directions under research. The second area is the integration of design and manufacturing. Projects are carried out in Design for Manufacturing, Design for Assembly, and 3D integration in design and process. The current research focuses on the integration of design and manufacturing with consideration of variation analysis and risk control. In the field of product lifecycle management, the Model-based System Engineering (MBSE), and the information modeling in PLM are the two directions under research and development.

Most of research projects were founded by national foundations, and the industry partners in Aerospace industry.
