Research summary
AI-generated

Chandra Nath's research focuses on manufacturing engineering, particularly machining processes such as drilling, turning, and milling of metals like stainless steel, titanium, and Inconel. Work includes monitoring tool wear and condition using sensor data and neural networks, improving cutting fluid delivery methods, and developing computational path-planning techniques for subtractive 3D printing (machining material away to create shapes). The publication record also includes at least one item outside this core area related to military leadership challenges in AI.
