معرفی
Alex Riensche is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma's College of Engineering, Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering. His work focuses on advanced manufacturing, particularly in additive manufacturing (AM) process simulation, control, digital twin development, and fault detection and prevention in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and directed energy deposition (DED) processes.
- Ph.D. in Industrial & Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech
- B.S. in Mechanical & Materials Engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Riensche's research centers on feedforward control of part quality in AM, utilizing modeling approaches to control thermal history and digital twin techniques for real-time property detection and control. His work addresses defect mitigation, microstructure evolution, and material property prediction in LPBF processes.
His publications highlight trends in additive manufacturing and process control, with a focus on physics-guided modeling, machine learning, and sensor data integration. His work bridges industrial engineering principles with advanced manufacturing technologies.
Riensche is affiliated with the Sooner Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory, where he conducts research on AM modeling and property predictions. His publications appear in journals such as Additive Manufacturing, Materials and Design, and International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.
