Consulting
Services

Each engagement draws on hands-on laboratory expertise — not theoretical knowledge. Real machines, real data, real materials.

01

Additive Manufacturing Advisory

From machine selection to process parameter optimization. I've operated LPBF, FDM, SLA, and PolyJet systems across metals and polymers.

  • LPBF process parameter development
  • Build strategy & support optimization
  • Post-processing protocol design
  • Defect root-cause investigation
  • AM technology roadmapping
02

Materials Characterization & Testing

Experimental analysis of material behaviour using industry-grade equipment. Structured reporting aligned with ASTM/ISO standards.

  • SEM / EDS / XRD microstructural analysis
  • Mechanical testing (static, fatigue, compression)
  • Hardness mapping & phase identification
  • Failure analysis & fractography
  • Materials selection for specific environments
03

Metamaterial & Lattice Design

Engineering TPMS and architected structures for lightweight, energy-absorbing, and multifunctional performance targets.

  • Gyroid, Primitive & Schwarz surface design
  • Lattice topology for target mechanical response
  • CAD-to-print workflow development
  • Density gradient & graded lattice design
  • Performance modelling & validation
04

Shape Memory Alloy Consulting

Deep expertise in NiTi and Cu-based SMAs — from alloy composition to actuation design and phase transformation characterization.

  • NiTi SMA processing via LPBF & induction melting
  • Phase transformation temperature characterization
  • Superelastic & SME component design
  • Biomedical & aerospace SMA applications
  • Cu-Al-Ni high-temperature SMA development
05

Data Science for Engineering

Materials informatics, predictive modelling, and ML-driven process optimization — using Python and MATLAB on your experimental datasets.

  • Materials data analytics & visualisation
  • ML models for process-property prediction
  • Image analysis for microstructural features
  • Scientific computing & automation scripts
  • Dashboard & reporting pipeline development
06

Research & Technical Writing

For organizations seeking to publish results, develop technical documentation, or train engineering teams on advanced materials topics.

  • Journal manuscript preparation & submission
  • Technical reports & whitepapers
  • Peer review (MDPI, Elsevier, ASME journals)
  • Workshop design & delivery
  • IP/patent specification support

Research-Grade
Expertise

Unlike generalist engineering firms, every recommendation is backed by hands-on experimental data and peer-reviewed methodology.
