Justin Miller Graduate Student » [email protected] » 727-755-1262 purdue.edu/cmsc BIO Master’s student in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics currently working as a Graduate Research Assistant in the CMSC. Current research focus is on simulation of hybrid molding and injection overmolding processes with composite materials. Previous research projects at Purdue have involved simulation compression molding of thermoplastic prepreg flake materials as well as material property characterization for draping simulations. Through IACMI industry partnerships worked at Dassault Systemes testing design for additive manufacturing tools. EDUCATION Purdue University M.S. Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering Purdue University B.S. Mechanical Engineering Dassault Systemes: Simulia IACMI Internship Through an IACMI industry partnership with Dassault Systemes, worked as an intern on design for additive manufacturing. Tested latest additive manufacturing simulation tools being developed in Abaqus. Tested optimization tools including shape, topology, and lattice optimizations which could be applied to additively manufactured parts. Made parameter recommendations for additive manufacturing design tools. RESEARCH INTERESTS Current research efforts involve hybrid molding of composite materials where composite preform sheets and/or wound UD tows are overmolded in an injection molding process to produce performance parts with complex features at a high production rate. Primary focus is in simulating the hybrid molding process to predict manufacturing process effects and part performance before production.
