Nominator's project description

Professor Na is well known internationally for his outstanding research in process simulation of arc and laser beam welding, most notably of laser hybrid welding. He has made important contributions by linking his expertise of arc physics and laser-matter interaction in deep keyhole with that of weld pool dynamics during arc welding and laser (hybrid) welding. During his stay in Germany, he intends to extend his numerical simulations of laser based welding processes to the field of additive manufacturing, including laser beam and arc welding.
