Biography

Dr. Jeremy L. Rickli received his B.S. and M.S. Degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Technological University in 2006 and 2008 and received his Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech prior to joining Wayne State in 2013. At Wayne State, he has created the Manufacturing and Remanufacturing Systems Laboratory (MaRSLab). MaRSLab targets fundamental and applied research in manufacturing, remanufacturing, and disassembly processes and systems while encouraging considerations for sustainability and life-cycle thinking in design, manufacturing, use, and recovery. Research thrusts include: Uncertainty Management in Remanufacturing and Disassembly; Leveraging Data to Innovate Decision Making in the Digital Manufacturing Enterprise; Collaborative Robotic Automation in Advanced Manufacturing and Assembly Systems. Within these thrusts, MaRSLab is investigating: disassembly automation for enhanced component and material recovery; integrating disassembly and remanufacturing decisions into design phases; the interaction between manufacturing operators and collaborative robots; learning programs for the application of collaborative robots in manufacturing; the potential for point cloud measurement data to transform manufacturing quality monitoring and remanufacturing core condition assessment; managing core acquisition in remanufacturing and value recovery considering uncertain core quality, quantity, and timing; and data analytics approaches to innovating Resistance Spot Welding feasibility certification. Dr. Rickli has collaborated with industrial partners on projects involving residual stresses in Resistance Spot Welding data analytics, lightweight aluminum alloy side rails, manufacturing process simulation, and enhancing end-of-life truck acquisition decisions. Dr. Rickli is also actively involved in outreach activities with Athletes for Charity STEM Youth Literacy Program and the WSU STEM Day, which provides Detroit Public Schools and other local K-12 students with STEM experiences.

Dr. Rickli is also the director of the NSF REU Site: Summer Academy in Sustainable Manufacturing (NSF #1461031). This site strives to expose undergraduate students to the forefront of sustainable manufacturing research; develop a sustainable manufacturing community of students, faculty, and industry partners; and encourage students to pursue future sustainable manufacturing research activities. More information on the REU Site and applying for the site can be found at:https://advancedmaterials.wayne.edu/summer-academy.
