Vincent Paquit is Section Head for Secure and Digital Manufacturing in the Manufacturing Science Division and Data Analytics Lead for the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Paquit joined ORNL in 2004 as a Research Assistant while studying for a PhD in Electrical Engineering at the University of Burgundy, France. His early research interests revolved around computer vision and image processing, such as 2D and 3D image segmentation, pattern recognition, remote sensing data interpretation, machine learning, multi- and hyper-spectral imaging, and algorithm development for GPU platforms. In recent years, he has taken on a leadership role in the development of the Data Analytics Framework for Advanced Manufacturing. This framework enhances the comprehension of manufacturing processes, enabling part qualification and certification, as well as process control and correction. Paquit's team actively contributed to the transformation of the MDF into a digital factory. This transformation involved capturing and analyzing digital threads associated with varied manufacturing technologies employed at the facility, spanning from design and modeling to simulation, material feedstock, and component fabrication and evaluation. Paquit's vision and leadership significantly influenced numerous projects and programs within ORNL, the DOE, and the DoD. With the support of the DOE Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO), his work has made a substantial impact in terms of advancing scientific knowledge and innovation in the field of digital manufacturing.
