Soufian is a PhD candidate at the Technical university of Denmark (DTU) and he is working at the Mechanical Engineering department. At DTU, he is working under the supervision of Associate professor Giuliano Bissacco and Professor Leonardo De Chiffre.
Soufian’s research topic involves development monitoring, control and optimization of micro finishing, which is a micro manufacturing process that is widely used in the electronics and aerospace field to obtain mirror-like surfaces with Sa<10nm. Typical examples of applications are optical lenses for telescopes or molding or forging dies.
The PhD follows the path of Industry 4.0, which is continuously pushing all the manufacturing processes towards automation and continuous improvement.
Soufian is developing and improving a micro finishing process together with the needed tools, such as optimal monitoring strategies and control solutions of the process to fill the gap related to efficient finishing.
