Personal statement :
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 Additive Manufacturing/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 areas of interest, micro manufacturing and additive 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 monitoring (using machine learning) and 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.

Biography
I studied an MEng in mechanical and manufacturing engineering at the Ecole National d'Ingénieur de Tarbes in France and completed a PhD in machine learning in Cardiff University. My current research focus is on the development and characterisation of micro manufacturing and metal Additive Manufacturing technologies, including the use of machine learning techniques, for the cost-effective fabrication of innovative products. Throughout my academic carrier, I have been coordinator of, and contributor to, several industrial, national and European multidisciplinary research projects.
- Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
- Conference scientific committee member and regular session chair for 4 International Conferences (4M, MIT slovenia, SDM, WCMNM)
- Scientific chair for the World Congress on Micro and Nano Manufacturing 2018.
- Member of the 4M association Executive Committee (http://www.4m-association.org/).
Honours and awards
Received, from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (USA), the 2007 SME Kuo K. Wang Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award.
Received a fellowship (2006 -2010) funded by the Research Councils of the United Kingdom to conduct research in Innovative Manufacturing.
