Bachelor-/ Master Thesis: »Optimizing Laser Processes with Bayesian Optimization«

vor 2 Wochen

Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit
Job Description

At Fraunhofer IPT in Aachen, we are working on making production more digital, flexible, and sustainable. In the department "Production Quality", we focus on data-driven optimization of production processes using machine learning and artificial intelligence. Laser processes are crucial for innovative fields like semiconductor manufacturing, microsystems engineering, and medical technology. However, their optimization is becoming increasingly complex due to rising demands on performance, precision, quality, and sustainability. Bayesian optimization (BO) represents a promising alternative to classic methods of process optimization due to its adaptive decision making and data efficiency. In this thesis, a BO algorithm for the optimization of laser processes will be developed, applied, and tested as part of a feasibility study. The aim is to determine the industrial maturity of BO and investigate how it can be increased in the future regarding its establishment in production engineering practice.

What You Will Do
  • Study mechanical engineering, automation technology, computer science, mathematics, or a comparable subject
  • Be interested in the use of artificial intelligence in production technology
  • Be optimally already familiar with the theory and approaches of machine learning and would like to specialize in this field
  • Have advanced programming skills in Python and related libraries (pandas, numpy, PyTorch)
  • Have a high level of motivation, willingness to learn, and independence
  • Have good language skills in German and/or English
