Short presentation
I specialize in Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals. My research explores the application of amorphous metallic alloy systems in electric vehicles and biomedical implants, as well as on exploring the effect of laser scan parameters and scanning strategies for microstructural design. I focus on advancing sustainable materials for green energy solutions and utilizing AM to transform manufacturing processes, optimizing microstructure-property relationships for high-performance scalable materials.
