Professor Chen received UTC-IASE Breakthrough Award.

The UTC Institute for Advanced Systems Engineering announced the Breakthrough Award winner, Xu Chen! The priority of the UTC-IASE Breakthrough Award is to provide an award to recognize innovative, transformational and disruptive contributions in the field of advanced systems engineering. The award will be used  to deal with the fundamental challenge of poor reproducibility in additive manufacturing (AM) processes in research and education. A specific focus is powder bed fusion (PBF) – one of the few AM techniques that are capable of directly fabricating geometrically complex metal parts with good mechanical strength.
