About
Vignesh Perumal is a researcher at the forefront of advanced manufacturing and fusion energy, specializing in digital twin technology and additive manufacturing for complex, high-stakes components. His work centers on integrating real-time monitoring and simulation to enhance the reliability and efficiency of direct energy deposition (DED) processes. Perumal’s most notable contribution is a pioneering case study on the additive manufacturing of a stellarator inner vessel—a critical component for nuclear fusion reactors. By developing a digital twin of the DED manufacturing cell, he demonstrated how in-process monitoring can ensure build quality and material integrity, directly addressing the challenges of fabricating geometrically intricate, fusion-relevant parts. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 2 citations, underscores the viability of DED for fusion applications and sets a benchmark for process control in extreme environments. Perumal’s research bridges the gap between digital manufacturing and clean energy, offering a scalable path toward producing robust components for next-generation fusion devices. His achievements highlight a unique synergy of computational modeling, real-time data integration, and practical manufacturing, positioning him as a key contributor to the future of sustainable energy infrastructure.
