PhD Studentship in Product Lifecycle Engineering

Place : Digital Product LifecycleManagement Lab., Digital Laboratory, University of Warwick, UK

The D-PLM group develops methodologies that integrate product design, manufacturing and service to create a novel closed-loop life-cycle modelling and synthesis framework, self-resilient production system, which can self-recover from engineering changes and 6-sigma faults. In doing so, it breaks new ground by establishing a research field on the interface between tangible product design, manufacturing and intangible services. This will impact a range of high value products, with potentially profound effects on PLM methodologies in a number of industries including automotive, aerospace, consumer goods and healthcare.

This PhD studentship will investigate the development of algorithms for closing the loop of product life-cycle specifically between Design, Manufacturing and Service Phases. The mathematical framework will be developed to integrate this information that will contribute towards improvements in product quality and reliability during different phases of PLM. The research will also develop guidelines for effective use of models during engineering change.

Candidates should be motivated to work with multidisciplinary teams of researchers developing mathematical frameworks and methodologies for automotive industries. Candidates with Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, computer engineering or equivalent background are needed with good knowledge and experience of one or more of the following subjects is essential:
numerical programming, need a good experience in any of the programming languages (C, C++, java,etc), experience in software (such as SAS, MATLAB, etc.), knowledge of database programming,simulations. Excellent communication skills and mathematical skill would be required in this PhD.

The PhD studentship is available immediately. Potential applicants should contact Professor Darek Ceglarek (d.j.ceglarek@warwick.ac.uk) or Professor Eduardo Izquierdo (L.E.Izquierdo@warwick.ac.uk)
