Responsibilities

- Advanced Additive Manufacturing, Polymer Composites and Adhesive Joining for High-Performance Engineering Applications

- Develop and fabricate polymeric and fibre-reinforced composite structures using additive manufacturing techniques, particularly FDM/FFF.

- Design and optimize 3D printing parameters such as print orientation, layer thickness, infill, and raster configuration.

- Develop nanomaterial-reinforced polymer composites and adhesive systems using graphene, carbon nanotubes, SiC, and other functional nanofillers.

- Investigate the mechanical performance of adhesively bonded polymer and composite structures.

- Develop innovative surface modification, mechanical interlocking, and bio-inspired interface designs for improving adhesive joint performance.

- Fabricate and evaluate hybrid and hierarchical composite structures incorporating nano- and macro-scale reinforcements.

- Conduct experimental investigations on tensile, flexural, compression, shear, and fracture properties of polymeric and composite materials.





- Investigate agile and vibrational behaviour of advanced polymer composites and adhesively bonded structures.

- Characterize material morphology, surface properties, chemical structure, and interfacial behaviour.

- Develop numerical, statistical, and data-driven models for predicting material and structural performance.

- Perform experimental data analysis, interpretation, and scientific visualization.

- Publish research findings in high-impact journals and conferences.

- Assist in preparing research proposals, technical reports, manuscripts, and patents.

- Assist in the preparation and submission of research proposals and support funded research activities.

- Collaborate with multidisciplinary research teams and mentor students.

- Support laboratory development, research activities, and timely completion of project milestones.
