Research summary
AI-generated

Sarah J. Wolff's research focuses on metal additive manufacturing (3D printing with metal powders), particularly on understanding defects such as porosity and pore formation during processes like laser powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition. Her work combines advanced imaging techniques, such as in-situ X-ray and synchrotron imaging, with machine learning and physics-based modeling to predict temperature, microstructure, and defect behavior during printing. This research aims to improve the reliability and quality control of metal parts made through additive manufacturing for engineering applications.
