Research

In my research group, we focus on developing process-driven solutions for additive manufacturing of next-generation materials, such as alloys containing rare-earth metals, high-performance metal alloys, and high-temperature materials. We use numerical, analytical, and experimental methods to establish the process-structure-property-performance relationships for these materials. The group works with a number of national and international collaborators from industry, government, and academia to offer advanced manufacturing solutions that can lead to clean technology, net-zero emissions, and industrial transformation in the Canadian industry. 

Research Interests:

• Additive manufacturing of high-performance metal alloys
• Additive manufacturing of alloys containing rare-earth metals
• In-situ monitoring and control for additive manufacturing
• Multiphysics modelling of manufacturing processes
• Process-structure-property-performance relationships
• Hybrid additive manufacturing
• Design for additive manufacturing

MEC E 364 - Manufacturing Processes

Primary manufacturing processes including casting, forming, machining, powdered metallurgy and surface technology, interactions between design, materials (metals, polymers, ceramics, composites) and processes, selected field trips and laboratory activities. Requires payment of additional student instructional support fees. Refer to the Tuition and Fees page in the University Regulations section of the Calendar. Prerequisite: MEC E 260.

MEC E 665 - Fundamentals and Materials Design in Additive Manufacturing

Fundamental aspects and recent developments in additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic and ceramic components, including materials for AM, standard processes for metals and ceramics, laser-material interactions, process modelling, process-structure-property relationships, design for AM, defects and performance evaluation, and applications in industry.
