Hello, this is Raghav. I am joining as an Assistant Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in August 2024. My research broadly involves developing physics-informed machine-learning techniques. I have two funded positions open for students interested in doing a PhD. A background in Industrial or Production Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or any related discipline is preferred. Exposure to Machine Learning/Statistics/Data Science with an interest in math and coding is a big plus. Please reach out to me via raghavg@vt.edu.
Research Interests
My research mainly focuses on machine learning and optimization techniques for advanced manufacturing, including (but not limited to)
- Active Learning/Sequential Design
- Physics-informed Machine Learning
- Digital Twins
