Francis Ogoke

Francis Ogoke is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where he directs the FORGE Lab.

He is broadly interested in developing artificial intelligence and deep learning methods to enhance, understand, and control engineering processes. His work focuses on creating physics-informed deep learning methods to accelerate simulation-based insights, designing probabilistic frameworks for uncertainty analysis, and developing generalizable representation learning frameworks. These efforts aim to build foundational models for engineering problems. He is interested in applying these frameworks to areas including advanced manufacturing, sensing, cyber-physical systems, and digital twins.

He received a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2024, where he was a Presidential Fellow and received the Best Ph.D. Dissertation Award, and a B.S.E in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Princeton University in 2019. Prior to joining the faculty, he was a postdoctoral associate at MIT.
