About Suk
Suk Bum Kwon completed his bachelor's degree in 2013 and his master's degree in 2015, both at Yonsei University in South Korea. For his master鈥檚 degree, he conducted research on the combination of wire abrasive and electrochemical discharge machining as a novel approach to advanced manufacturing processes. He earned his Ph.D. in 2022 and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he focused on modeling the removal behavior of anisotropic ceramics in nano-scale machining. He has been working on developing modeling frameworks for machining processes with the aim of improving precision and efficiency. His research interests include ultra-precision machining, ceramic machining, process modeling, and smart manufacturing, with a particular focus on integrating AI-driven solutions to address challenges in manufacturing processes and enhance productivity.
