Center for Lasers and Plasmas for Advanced ManufacturingIIP-0823780University of VirginiaGuptaThis is a proposal to renew the University of Virginia's participation in the Lasers and Plasmas center, an I/UCRC center that was created in 2002. The center was initially established as a single university center and currently has grown to a multi-university center with participation from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Southern Methodist University. The primary focus of the center's research is in laser applications for advanced manufacturing. Some of the center's research activities have included laser removal of oxides, laser micro-machining of titanium, laser microtexturing, optical sensor for laser welding, micromachining of aluminum alloys and carbon nanocomposites. The future center research will focus on applications of high power diode and fiber lasers for various materials processing needs. Laser processing techniques are expected to increase well beyond the applications of today as research provides improved development of this important process. The integrated effort of multi-university center for laser applications provides a great benefit to the society in terms of helping US industries to be more competitive in advanced manufacturing. The center will provide education and training to prepare students to meet future workforce needs. The center will provide a unique experience to graduate students who will interact and collaborate with industrial researchers and engineers. The center will continue to involve undergraduate students through REUs.

先进制造激光和等离子中心IIP-0823780弗吉尼亚大学古普塔这是一项更新弗吉尼亚大学参与激光和等离子中心的提案，激光和等离子中心是一个于2002年创建的I/UCRC中心。该中心最初是作为一个单一的大学中心建立的目前已发展成为一个由密歇根大学、安娜堡大学和南卫理公会大学参与的多所大学中心。该中心研究的主要重点是先进制造的激光应用。 该中心的一些研究活动包括激光去除氧化物、钛的激光微加工、激光微纹理、激光焊接光学传感器、铝合金和碳纳米复合材料的微加工。 未来中心的研究将集中于高功率二极管和光纤激光器的应用，以满足各种材料加工的需求。 随着研究改进这一重要工艺的发展，激光加工技术预计将远远超出当今的应用范围。 多所大学激光应用中心的共同努力，在帮助美国工业在先进制造领域更具竞争力方面为社会带来了巨大的利益。 该中心将提供教育和培训，帮助学生做好满足未来劳动力需求的准备。 该中心将为研究生提供独特的体验，让他们与工业研究人员和工程师互动和合作。 该中心将继续通过 REU 吸引本科生参与。
