Ben Hronowsky Defends Thesis

Congratulations to Ben Hronowsky for successfully defending his MASc thesis titled “Simultaneous Part and Reinforcement Topology Optimization with Structural Performance and Manufacturability-Driven Geometric Objectives.”

During his time in the lab, Ben made significant contributions to SMSD’s research and industry projects, both as a team member and leader, and he also completed an on-site internship with Dynamic Structures. We thank Ben for his contributions and we look forward to hearing about his future successes.

Erik Wotten Defends Thesis

Congratulations to Erik Wotten for successfully defending his MASc thesis titled “Multi-Objective Build Orientation and Topology Optimization for Cost and Time Minimization in Fiber Reinforced Additive Manufacturing.”

Erik has been a pleasure to work with, ever since his undergraduate research project with SMSD. During his master’s, he made valuable contributions to multiple industry projects, and has been a thoughtful leader and mentor in the lab. The SMSD lab thanks Erik for his contributions and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours.

SMSD Featured in CRIAQ Video (Libio Project)

SMSD worked with Bombardier, ZAL (Germany), and 8 other partners in Canada, Germany, and Austria – on the design and development of an aircraft smart table using additive manufacturing and topology optimization. The concept design successfully incorporated additional electronic features into the business jet table and was manufactured utilizing metal and polymer additive manufacturing processes.
