Fred Livingston joined the ISE Department in 2023 as an associate teaching professor. When not in the office or co-working space, you can find him competing in challenges such as Badwater Ultra, IRONMAN, and Spartan.
Research Interests
Livingston’s research and teaching are centered on enhancing cyber-physical systems for smart manufacturing, focusing on AI-assisted low-volume manufacturing post-processing. These systems harness generative AI and machine learning to enable real-time process actions for responsive manipulation. They integrate seamlessly with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by employing open architectures, facilitating dynamic and flexible manufacturing processes. Furthermore, we leverage real-time perception, process modeling, and the advantages of digitalization to optimize processes and enhance scalability.
