PhD students from a variety of backgrounds are carrying out doctoral research in the context of the EPSRC Centre and at the Centre for Additive Manufacturing.
PhD title: Additive manufacturing of photon sensors based on hybrid low dimensional 0D/2D heterostructure
Supervisors: Dr Lyudmila Turyanska, Prof Richard Hague, Prof Chris Tuck and Dr Oleg Makarovskiy
My Research involves the development of optoelectronic devices containing 0D perovskite nanocrystals and 2D materials (graphene) with the use of inkjet-printing.
My research focusses on the development and studies of 0D and 2D inks for additive manufacturing of photosensitive devices. The overall aim of my project is to develop up-scalable production of photon sensors with extended detection range.

PhD Title: Creating new energy-absorbing structures for automotive using additive manufacturing of lightweight steels
Supervisors: Dr Ian Maskery, Dr Marco Simonelli and Prof Richard Hague
PhD title: A theranostic agent for cardiac disease
Supervisors: Prof. Derek Irvine, Dr. Tracy Farr and Dr. Peter Harvey
PhD title: Super-Alloy by Additive Manufacturing: New Alloy Compositions for Selective Laser Melting
Supervisors: Dr Marco Simonelli,and Prof Christopher Tuck
My research aims to develop a new series of titanium and aluminium alloys for use in SLM in which the alloy composition will be designed to improve the strength and productivity according to the requirements imposed by the aerospace and automotive industry, respectively. The research will be carried out using the empirical and computation approaches for predicting phase formation in materials under the conditions posed by the SLM process. Experimentation will combine elements of powder feedstock formulation, operation of the latest laser powder-bed platforms and analysis and characterization of the printed structures using state-of-the-art microscopy and testing techniques.

PhD title: 3D Printing with 1D Functional Nanomaterials
Supervisors: Prof Ruth Goodridge, Prof Ian Ashcroft and Prof Andrei Khlobystov
PhD title: Theromfluid Optimisation of AM high heat flux components for fusion
Supervisors: Dr Ian Maskery and Prof Chris Tuck
This project will attempt to optimise the geometry of the divertor component (the heat exhaust system of a nuclear fusion reactor) for heat transfer using additive manufacturing. This is because the heat exhaust system of the divertor has been identified as a key issue on the road to the commercialisation of nuclear fusion power. Therefore, researching new methods of designing and manufacturing divertors must take place now to avoid delays in the commercialisation of fusion power if traditional methods aren’t able to manufacture divertors to the standard required. Additive manufacturing is a technology with significant potential application in fusion for high temperature, high heat flux components due to the complex structures (such as lattices) that this technology allows us to manufacture.
