Dr Arun Arjunan - Senior Lecturer BEng (Hons) PgCert (HE) MIET SFHEA
Arun Arjunan is the Reader in additive manufacturing of functional materials at the University of Wolverhampton. Prior to that, he was Senior Lecturer, Lecturer, and Course Leader in mechanical engineering at the same university. He obtained his Ph.D. on a fully-funded research scholarship at the interface of structural mechanics, vibro-acoustics, and numerical modelling. As a result of his innovative pedagogic practices and research lead teaching, Arun was recognised as the Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) in 2015. Arun leads the research activity in the school of engineering relating to the development of functional materials that can be additively manufactured (3D printed) for on-demand problem-solving.
He specialises in the development of advanced additive manufacturing techniques for the fabrication of metamaterials with unprecedented or rare mechanical, auxetic, acoustic, or biological properties. He has made numerous contributions in meta-biomaterials used in the context of bone tissue regeneration, implant performance and decreasing the risk of implant-associated infections. His interest in metamaterial has also led to the development of the Herschel Quincke Arjunan waveguides for passive noise cancellation.
Arun has supervised Ph.D. students, published in leading research journals, and has his research funded by numerous research grants including from the UK Department of Transport (DfT), European Union, and Industrial Partnerships.
Arun is also an external examiner (2016-2020) for the University of Greenwich and serves as a Reviewer and Panel Member for the British Research Council. He won the GKN award in 2011 and the Elsevier Outstanding Contribution in Reviewing Award in 2015. He was also nominated for 2019 and 2020 ‘Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists in the United Kingdom’, which celebrates the accomplishments and future potential of researchers working in science and engineering. He has served on international advisory committees, review panels of funding agencies, and as a member of award committees.
