David Muzenic

David Muzenic has held various roles throughout their career. From 2023 onwards, they worked as a Process Development Engineer at PowerPhotonic. In this role, they were responsible for improving the reliability and capability of the company's laser machining process. David contributed to the company's capability map, defined boundaries and tolerances, and quantified process performance through theoretical modeling and empirical assessments.

Prior to that, from 2018 to 2019, David worked as a Structural Engineer at Normad srl. David designed the structural metal framework for a high-end modular prefabricated house project. David optimized the design to lower production, transport, and assembly costs, considering different materials, production processes, and joint techniques. David also conducted FEM stress and strain analysis using the SolidWorks platform.

Before joining Normad srl, David worked as a Young Researcher at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering from 2014 to 2018. Their research mainly focused on laser-assisted milling. David developed thermal models to predict temperatures during the process, conducted experiments on CNC machine tools, and analyzed surface integrity using 3D microscopy. David also used MATLAB extensively for data analysis, algorithm creation, and modeling. Additionally, they delivered lectures to students on the Bachelor and Master of Mechanical Engineering programs.

Overall, David Muzenic has a strong background in process development, structural engineering, and research related to laser-assisted milling.

David Muzenic attended the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering from 2009 to 2014, where they pursued their Master of Engineering degree in Mechatronics and Laser Technology. In 2014, they continued their studies at the same institution, focusing on Production Engineering Sciences, Cybernetics, and Mechatronics for their Doctor of Science degree. In addition to their academic qualifications, David also obtained a certification as a Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) from Dassault Systèmes in June 2010.
