4D Printing of Composites

Prof. Gurminder Singh is currently working as an assistant professor at the mechanical engineering department, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. He worked as a postdoc researcher in the school of mechanical and materials engineering at University College Dublin (UCD), Dublin, Ireland. Before joining UCD, Dr Singh was a Postdoc fellow at SIMAP Lab, University of Grenoble Alpes, France, where his research focused on the experimental and simulation studies of the extrusion 3D printing of metals. Dr Singh was Gandhian young Technological Innovation Award for the development of a 3D printing method for the fabrication of patient-specific stents in 2020. He has published over 26 articles in peer-reviewed international journals, conference proceedings and books. He has published in leading journals such as Additive Manufacturing, Materials Science and Engineering: A, Journal of Manufacturing Processes, Rapid Prototyping, etc. Dr. Ranvijay Kumar is an Assistant Professor at University Centre for Research and Development, Chandigarh University.
