Research and expertise
My research interests cover several aspects of advanced manufacturing and sustainable manufacturing processes, environmentally friendly processes, optimization, design and stress analysis. My recent book entitled “Machining Difficult-to-Cut Materials: Basic Principles and Challenges” (published by Springer) presents the state of the art research related to the machining of difficult to cut materials and findings in the area of machining mechanics as well as surface quality and integrity. Together with my research group, I have a patent and my work has been featured in over 200 publications in reputable journals, conferences and book chapters. During my research career, I have supervised over 30 Masters and Ph.D. students.
