Speech title: Study on Modeling of the Characteristics of Material Machining Processes with different pairs of Cutting Tools and Workpiece Materials

Abstract- In the processes of machining materials, especially cutting processes, the characteristics of the machining process such as cutting forces, vibrations, surface roughness, hardening, material removal rate, energy consumption, ... are used to evaluate the quality and efficiency of the machining process. In this synthesis study, several characteristics of the machining process have been modeled based on the geometric and mechanical interaction phenomena of the cutting tool and the workpiece material. The models were developed focusing on milling processes with different cutting tools (flat end mill cutter, ball end mill cutter, using parallelogram inserts, using circular inserts, ...). The developed models are also applied to machining materials with different hardness such as aluminum alloys (Al6061, Al7075), steels (C45, SKD11). A series of experiments were conducted to verify the developed model and evaluate the practical applicability of the proposed models.

Speech title: IMPROVEMENT OF COLOR UNIFORMITY IN WHITE LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES WITH SCATTERING ENHANCEMENT MATERIALS

Abstract- This study explores the effects of varying particle sizes of scattering materials on the optical performance of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs), with a focus on lumen output, Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), Color Rendering Index (CRI), and Color Quality Scale (CQS). These particles were incorporated into LED systems with varied sizes, and their impact on light scattering, efficiency, and color quality was analyzed using Mie scattering simulations and testing validation. The results indicate that such particles deliver the optimal performance, yielding a substantial lumen output and a significant CQS value, reflecting superior light quality and balanced color rendering. Although the CRI remained moderate, the consistency across various particle sizes suggests that the scattering particles could be a viable material for applications requiring stable color fidelity. Moreover, the CCT analysis revealed minimal color temperature deviation, contributing to more stable lighting conditions. These findings suggest that the material offers competitive optical properties compared to conventional scattering materials with potential applications in high-efficiency LEDs, dynamic lighting solutions, and color-tunable light sources.

Speech title: Sustainable Surface Modification Strategies for Next-Generation Environmental Materials

Abstract- Surface modification is a key approach for creating environmentally functional materials with enhanced performance and reduced ecological impact. By tuning surface chemistry, porosity, and microstructure, materials can achieve significantly higher adsorption capacity, catalytic efficiency, and sensing responsiveness. This talk highlights sustainable surface-engineered materials in both carbon-based and metallic systems. Activated carbons derived from agricultural waste demonstrate how surface functionalization and increased surface area improve the removal of toxic pollutants from water and air. These modified surfaces also enable fair functional-unit comparisons in life-cycle assessment, linking material design to environmental metrics. In metallic materials, porous Cu surfaces for CO2 reduction and Cu/Au-modified carbon electrodes for biosensing illustrate the role of nanoscale surface tailoring. Ni–W electrodeposited coatings are further presented as eco-friendly, Cr⁶⁺-free alternatives with excellent corrosion and wear resistance.
