Since the beginning of my academic career, I have been focusing my research on innovative and emerging manufacturing technologies and in particular machine learning, micro manufacturing and 3D printing, combining them when relevant.

This highlights a particular aspect of my research activities. The machine learning techniques I am developing can be seen as enabling-technologies that can be used for modelling and knowledge discovery in other research fields, but in particular in my main other area of interest, micro manufacturing.

At the same time, the micro manufacturing process chains I am developing also act as enabling-technologies for other field of research, such as for the development of novel medical devices or in thermo-fluidic applications.

More recently, I have also been looking at how to integrate emerging 3D printing techniques into more advanced and reliable manufacturing process chains, such as through the post processing of metal ALM components using laser ablation or through the development of novel material for 3D printing

This wide range of activities is reflected by the range of joint publications I contributed to and by the range of co-authors coming from various research disciplines that I worked with on various interdisciplinary project, both as coordinator and as co-investigator. These projects covered different aspects of technologies development from fundamental research to technology transfer and networking activities.

Tiwtor Blwyddyn 4 - MEng Rhaglen addysgu peirianneg fecanyddol a meddygol.

Pynciau Addysg Israddedig yn y gorffennol a'r presennol: Deunyddiau a Gweithgynhyrchu, Rhaglennu sy'n Canolbwyntio ar Wrthrychau, Mathemateg, Cymwysiadau Peirianneg (CAD, Dylunio a labordai), Labordy Mecanyddol, Rheoli Busnes, Dylunio Modurol.

Pynciau prosiectau PhD ac MSc: Gweithgynhyrchu Uwch, Dysgu Peiriant, gweithgynhyrchu micro, gweithgynhyrchu ychwanegyn / argraffu 3D

Astudiais MEng mewn peirianneg fecanyddol a gweithgynhyrchu yn yr Ecole National d'Ingénieur de Tarbes yn Ffrainc a chwblhau PhD mewn dysgu peirianyddol ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. Fy ffocws ymchwil cyfredol yw datblygu a nodweddu technolegau gweithgynhyrchu ychwanegion micro a metel, gan gynnwys defnyddio technegau dysgu peiriannau, ar gyfer cynhyrchu cynhyrchion arloesol yn gost-effeithiol. Trwy gydol fy nghyflogwr academaidd, rwyf wedi bod yn gydlynydd ac yn cyfrannu at nifer o brosiectau ymchwil amlddisgyblaethol diwydiannol, cenedlaethol ac Ewropeaidd.

Cymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch
Aelod pwyllgor gwyddonol y gynhadledd a chadeirydd sesiwn rheolaidd ar gyfer 4 Cynhadledd Ryngwladol (4M, MIT slofenia, SDM, WCMNM)
Cadeirydd Gwyddonol ar gyfer Cyngres y Byd ar Micro a Nano Manufacturing 2018.
Aelod o'r Pwyllgor Gwaith Cymdeithas 4M (http://www.4m-association.org/).
