BIO
As a faculty member in the School of Product Design, my research focuses on the development and additive manufacturing of hydrogels and aerogels using bio-based resources. Additionally, I am interested in exploring sustainable production and recycling/upcycling practices. Leveraging my expertise in mechanical and manufacturing engineering, I pursue research projects related to upscaling 3D printing to mass-production techniques, new product development, and product design within manufacturing contexts.
Aligned with my research interests, I am currently involved in several projects. One project entails 3D printing porous media for process engineering, while another focuses on additive manufacturing/3D printing of bio-based materials, investigating their potential for bio-fabrication in water treatment media.
My research interests encompass:
- 3D printing functional materials
- Additive manufacturing/3D printing of bio-based materials
- Bio-fabrication of water treatment media
- Biomimetics in product design
- Bio-composites
- Sustainable design and recycling
