Research

My research interests are computational modelling and artificial intelligence for clean energy manufacturing, with a focus on E-mobility, additive manufacturing, and material circularity. The core theme of my research is to employ a combination of simulations, experiments and scientific machine learning (ML) to explore new manufacturing and material solutions to improve the material performance and recyclability, while lowering the manufacturing cost and CO2 emissions.
