This PhD at the University of Nottingham explores how high-powered laser processing can support the circular economy through advanced, flexible materials manufacturing and recycling approaches. The project has two main experimental themes. First, it will investigate disassembly and reuse of end-of-life composite components, building on previous work that has demonstrated laser cutting of carbon fibre composites (CFRP). The contactless and highly programmable nature of laser processing makes it w...

2-year postdoctoral position at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. The project focuses on optimization of metal additive manufacturing for the circular use of high-value industrial products . The research is strongly oriented toward materials science and mechanical engineering , with work involving micro-analytical testing , mechanical testing , and advanced characterization in both laboratory and synchrotron facilities. This is a research contract rather than a scholarshi...
