Since May 2012, Alex Roschli has been doing research for ORNL at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility under the supervision of Dr. Lonnie Love. His research and expertise have focused on the development of the BAAM (Big Area Additive Manufacturing) system. He was involved in several projects, including 3D printing the world's first car, a Shelby Cobra, a Guinness World Record-holding Boeing 777x wing blade mold, a wind turbine blade mold, and a 34' catamaran boat hull mold. Michael Borish is a post-doctoral researcher of Computer Science at Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL). Dr. Borish currently works at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at ORNL, where he investigates the use of in-situ algorithms to provide feedback to large-scale additive manufacturing machines. These algorithms can take many forms of input including direct user input, image analysis, machine learning decisions, etc. He is also investigating new methodologies for interaction, status feedback, and remote collaboration via augmented reality. His research interests include novel interaction methodologies, user input/feedback, and 3D interfaces. To a lesser extent, he also engages in a wide array of algorithms related to computational geometry, machine learning, image analysis, and feedback control techniques. His research is funded by the DOE. Abby Barnes is a Research Communications Professional at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Manufacturing Demonstration Facility. She was previously a researcher in at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She has co-authored two research papers and contributed to five others. Thomas Feldhausen is a research staff member and technical lead for hybrid manufacturing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Manufacturing Automation and Controls Group. Hybrid manufacturing, a combination of additive and subtractive (machining) manufacturing, is used in his research at ORNL's Manufacturing Demonstration Facility to provide industrial solutions for component repair, tooling and tooling repair, advanced energy systems, aerospace, and automotive applications. Thomas worked at Honeywell Federal Manufacturing in Kansas City before coming to ORNL, where he specialized in multi-axis additive processes for direct ink-write technology. Peter Wang is a researcher in the Manufacturing Systems Design Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). He received his PhD in 2018 from the University of California, Irvine with a focus in robot kinematics. He worked in tunneling construction for 10 years prior to starting work at ORNL. His current research interests cover robotics, manufacturing systems development, automation, additive manufacturing, and the circular economy. MacDonald graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a doctorate in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2002. He worked in industry for 12 years with IBM and Motorola before co-founding a company that specialized in CAD software, which was later acquired by a Silicon Valley firm. Dr. MacDonald was the associate director of the W. M. Keck Center for 3D Innovation at the University of Texas at El Paso from 2003 to 2016. He also held faculty fellowships at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, US Navy Research, and was awarded a US State Department Fulbright Fellowship in South America.
