The research project, supervised by Dr. Michael Barton at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM) and defended at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), is titled "5-Axis Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Flank Milling of Free-Form Surfaces Using Straight and Custom-Shaped Tools." Therein, Rajain presents a novel mathematical approach based on optimization to dramatically improve the accuracy of industrial manufacturing of complex surfaces, such as turbine blades.

Kanika will receive a certificate of recognition for this selection and will present the results of her work at the awards ceremony during the upcoming Congress on Differential Equations and Applications / Congress on Applied Mathematics (CEDYA-CMA), to be held from July 6 to 10 in Valencia.

Our sincerest congratulations to Kanika Rajain and her thesis advisor!
