A Smart Manufacturing and Data Analytics Group (https://sites.google.com/site/smandda/ or https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=OJtZt_YAAAAJ&hl=en) at University of Georgia, Athens is hiring PhD or Direct PhD students for the Summer/Fall 2026. Potential applicants (e.g., Spring 2027) can contact Dr. Duckbong Kim ([email protected]) to discuss their interests and possibilities. Tuition, stipend for PhD ($2,300-3,000/month) student and travel for conferences will be financially supported. Stipend/salary for post-doc ($50,000 to 60,000) and travel for conferences will be financially supported. 

Our research group focuses on smart manufacturing and data analytics, such as industrial automation and robotic welding, XR:AR/VR/MR, additive manufacturing (AM), computational modeling, machine learning, physical AI, and decision support. Among these, we are currently focusing on four main specific topics: 1) XR-based Smart Manufacturing, 2) Machine Learning and Computational Modeling, 3) Collaborative Robot, 4) Machine Vision-based Digital Inspection Methodology (e.g., Cognex, PLC, and NI), and 5) Materials Characterization.
