Joel specialises in additive manufacturing (rapid prototyping/manufacturing), laser processing and micro moulding. His primary research interests are additive manufacture and micro/nano manufacturing processes, recently focusing on applications in tissue engineering, micro product manufacture and laser assisted additive manufacture of aerospace alloys.
He is currently supervising PhD researchers in micro injection moulding, laser deposition, micro metrology and nano scale manufacture. He is a co-investigator in the 3D Mintegration Grand Challenge project funded by EPSRC, an IMRC project on micro-manufacture, and the EU FP6 Coordinated Action in micro and nano manufacturing ¬ MicroSapient. He also has two Bridging the Gaps awards for initiating collaborative research with colleagues in Physics, Microbiology & Nursing, Midwifery and Physiotherapy.
Joel has several peer-reviewed publications, has presented at international conferences worldwide, contributed to a book on Rapid Prototyping case studies and is a contributor to the annual state of the industry report produced by Terry Wohlers. His expertise has assisted the recent development of a novel drug delivery patch and evaluation of a handheld micro-measurement device.
