DrManpreet Singh

I am an active member of the Additive Manufacturing of Functional Materials (AMFM) research group, led by Prof. Arun Arjunan, at the University of Wolverhampton. Our research focuses on advancing additive manufacturing (AM) techniques for the fabrication of multifunctional materials that can address real-world challenges in various fields, including biomedical applications and structural engineering.

My specific research interests include the development and optimisation of advanced materials, particularly in the context of auxetic materials, which exhibit unique mechanical properties such as a negative Poisson’s ratio. These materials have promising applications in areas like energy absorption, crashworthiness, and biomedical implants. I work on enhancing the properties of materials for additive manufacturing, exploring their potential in producing sustainable and high-performance solutions for industries like aerospace, automotive, and healthcare.

I also focus on the integration of simulation tools (such as Ansys and SolidWorks) for product design and material optimisation, ensuring that the materials developed can be efficiently and effectively manufactured using AM technologies. Through my work, I aim to bridge the gap between material science and practical engineering applications, advancing both the theoretical and practical aspects of additive manufacturing.

In addition to my individual research, I collaborate with PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, and academic specialists within the AMFM group. Together, we are exploring cutting-edge topics such as metamaterials for tissue regeneration, implant performance, and noise cancellation. This collaborative environment allows for a multidisciplinary approach, combining expertise in materials science, mechanical engineering, and bioengineering.
