Research Experience

Research Intern

Chiayi, Taiwan

AIM-HI Institute, National Chung Cheng University

May 2025 - Jul 2025

Project: Smart Sensing Technology for Smart Manufacturing
- Developed a data-driven approach to estimate dynamic cutting force model in milling process by combining nonlinear system analysis with qualitative simulation.
- Processed and trained 12 datasets of the cutting forces, each containing multi-channel sensor signals (three-axis dynamometer, spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut).
- Implemented visualization and error analysis of predicted vs. actual measured cutting forces using Python.
- Results: R2 values between 0.5-0.6, suggesting potential applications in real-time process monitoring for smart manufacturing.
- Supervisor: Prof. Her-Terng Yau (Email, Website)
