Digital Manufacturing

AI graphical representation of an engineer using technology for project management

We are developing computational methods and digital technologies to optimise processes and improve product quality in the manufacturing industry. We use a range of modelling methods, from first principles to data-driven and hybrid approaches.

  • Our areas of expertise

    • Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD), RANS modelling

    • Artificial intelligence

    • Development of digital manufacture processes and chains for formulated and/or structured products (eg foods, FMCG, pharma), by integrating modelling and computational tools with (bio)process engineering methods

    • Computational modelling of reaction networks in biological systems
