Professor Shreyes Melkote heads our group. Dr. Melkote's research expertise is in the areas of machining process modeling for metals and advanced materials, surface texture characterization and evaluation, laser assisted mechanical micromachining, computer-aided design and analysis of machining fixtures, and application of geometric modeling techniques for the simulation of manufacturing processes. He earned a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Michigan Technological University in 1993. Prior to joining the Georgia Tech faculty, he served as a postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where he actively participated in the Agile Fixturing and Process Modeling projects of the NSF/DARPA Machine Tool-Agile Manufacturing Research Institute. Dr. Melkote is a Fellow of the ASME and a recipient of several honors including the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Dell K. Allen Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award and the ASME Blackall Machine Tool and Gage Award. He is currently the director of the Precision Machining Research Consortium (PMRC) at Georgia Tech.
