Belief test January 2023: What if I am wrong about……planning?

7 minute read

Published:

I spent a lot of time in 2022 looking at the world and feeling down about how polarizing everything and everyone seem. I took a class that had interesting content around that. The content modules, called ‘perspectives’ talked about rational and irrational thoughts (The elephant and the rider metaphor), confirmation bias and moral foundation theory. It made reflect about how I too have some strong opinions and having them questioned makes my palms sweat and I feel a rush of blood.

Using Data Science to Analyze the printability of novel copper powder

I’m currently working on building a dataset of novel copper print data to predict factors that play a crucial role in its printability. Copper alloys are some of the most challenging materials to print using Laser Powder Bed Fusion, owing to their high reflectivity. I’m attempting collect sensor and machine settings data and build tree based classifiers that can help identify successful print zones

Prediction of Material Removal Rate in Die-Sinking Electrical Discharge Machining

Published in Procedia Manufacturing, 2016

This paper presents a semi-empirical model which shows the relationship between material removal rate in die-sinking Electrical Discharge Machining and peak current and on-time. Peak current and on-time are considered as two critical factors that affect the material removal rate.
