Intelligent Manufacturing Systems
Our group specializes in intelligent manufacturing systems using inherent principles of nature to contribute to the global cause of achieving Net Zero. Equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing, sensing and characterisation tools, our group is located at the heart of London. We thrive on collaborations and offers a wide range of engineering solutions to emerging problems across disciplines ranging from healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing, The pedigree of our group stems from the unique integration of AI, digital manufacturing, sensors and advanced deposition techniques.
Our research group stands at the forefront of nature-inspired Net Zero manufacturing theme. We produce advanced surface using a myriad of additive and subtractive techniques to mimic the functionality observed in nature. We also use surfaces to perform in-situ detection of flaws during the manufacturing processes. With a vast range of online and offline tools we access to, we control the growth processes to achieve near optimal energy and emissions during the process. What sets us apart is not only our state-of-the-art equipment—such as nanoindentation, atomic force microscopy, wear testing, tribology, and precision microscopes—but also our collaborative and inclusive approach.
Our strength in our collaborations enables us to integrate cutting-edge technologies like AI, machine learning, and sensor systems into our work, enabling us to optimise spray processes, enhance material performance, and pioneer next-generation functional coatings.
