The project

A qualification methodology for printed interfaces and bond joints that must survive 500 °C, using physics-informed AI to predict reliability rather than test it one sample at a time.

PI Alkim Akyurtlu (Director, RURI and PERC); Co-PIs Vinod Vokkarane, Oshadha Ranasingha, and Scott Stapleton; with Applied Nanotech, Bayflex Solutions, RAGE Systems, and RTX.
