Biography

B.A.Sc in energy technology

M.Sc in materials engineering

Current role: project researcher; computed fluid dynamics and discrete element method simulation of powder particle behavior and laser-material interaction in PBF-LB/M

Teaching

Lecturing/lab work/assistant teacher in courses "3D printing and additive manufacturing" and "Advanced additive manufacturing", "Teolliset valmistusmenetelmät".

Research

Researching simulation of PBF-LB/M; from powder particle behavior and the powder bed layering to the laser-material interaction. The work includes development of validation models, powder particle characterization for parametrization, and development of discrete element simulation models and CFD simulation models.
