Job description

The main objective of this multidisciplinary project is to develop deep learning methods, including convolutional neural networks, transformers, and graph convolutional networks, for (semi)-automated CAD design, grouping, segmenting, and synthesizing CAD models, to support product design decisions by analyzing the similarity of CAD designs and providing the next step design suggestions to CAD engineers. Through cutting-edge research and collaboration with industrial partners, the team will develop high-performing methodologies and demonstrate their performance on both benchmark and real-world data.

Throughout this project, we will collaborate with researchers with both mechanical engineering and computer science/engineering background as well as relevant industrial case companies for testing and prototyping our proposed deep learning design assistance tool on real data and show the effectiveness of our methods in facilitating design process and implementing modularity in manufacturing.
