Welcome to the Sustainable Multifunctional Materials and Additive Manufacturing (SM²AM)Laboratory. Our research drives advancements in materials design and innovation, focusing on multiscale and multifunctional characteristics in additive manufacturing, aimed at developing energy-efficient and sustainable solutions. At SM²AM, we conduct multidisciplinary research to investigate the mechanical and functional behaviour of AM-enabled materials and composites across different scales, using a combination of experimental techniques and advanced modelling.

Our work lies at the intersection of additive manufacturing, materials science/engineering, and mechanics, pushing the boundaries to create innovative, multifunctional materials and systems. The broader impact of our research is poised to deliver advanced materials and multimaterial additive manufacturing technologies that contribute to reducing carbon footprints, supporting global Carbon Net Zero (CNZ) aspirations.
