We are based at the Institute for Manufacturing in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge using materials chemistry, additive manufacturing, and machine learning to realize entirely new devices and materials whose structure and composition is optimized from the nano- to the macro-scale to improve interaction with the human body and enhance lives.

The group is working on:
Digitally tailored medical devices
Producing wearable and implantable medical devices that better mimic and integrate with patients/wearers.
Materials for additive manufacturing
Developing new materials whose structure and composition enable unique functionality.
Learning 3D printers
Understanding how machine learning approaches can improve the capabilities of 3D printers.
One new PhD student Christos Margadji has arrived - much excitement!
