Biography:

Wenzhen Huang obtained his Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from The University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004 and worked as postdoctoral research fellow at UW-Madison. He also worked as a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University, China, for about 5 years.

Professor Huang's interests are in product and manufacturing process modeling, simulation, design analysis and optimization, and diagnosis for variation reduction and quality improvement. Specific topics in his recent and current research include streams of variation modeling and analysis (SOVA) in multi-stage manufacturing systems, compliant assembly process, statistical tolerance analysis and synthesis, probabilistic design and optimization, metrology and sensor system, and statistical signal processing for diagnosis and quality control. The application area covers automotive, fuel cell, MEMS,aerospace, shipbuilding, power industries, and general mechanical product design and manufacturing.

Areas Of Interest:

  • Computer Aided Tolerance Design
  • Diagnostics in Manufacturing
  • Modeling, Analysis, and Design of Product and Manufacturing Process
  • Quality Control in Fuel Cell Manufacturing
  • Quality Engineering and Applied Statistics
  • Topography Modeling and Analysis in MEMS
