David Hutt

Dr. David Hutt is a Senior Lecturer and Reader in Electronics Packaging Materials at Loughborough University, Department of Materials within the School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering. He holds a BSc (1988) and PhD (1992) in Chemistry from Imperial College, University of London. His career includes roles as a Research Associate at the University of Warwick, University of Nottingham, and Loughborough University before becoming a Lecturer in 1999.

Dr. Hutt's research focuses on advanced materials for electronics packaging, including conductive adhesives, nanomaterials, laser processing, and additive manufacturing. His work emphasizes high-performance interconnects, material stability in extreme environments, and microfabrication techniques for electronic and biomedical applications.

Key research areas include 3D printing of electronic devices, laser-based material processing, and the development of transparent conductive oxides. His studies often explore the integration of optical and electronic interconnects in printed circuit boards, with contributions to sustainable manufacturing and overmolding of microfluidic devices.

Dr. Hutt has extensively published on topics like electroless plating, thermal stability of materials, and microfluidic packaging. His research frequently addresses challenges in high-density interconnects, fluxless soldering, and the durability of electronic assemblies under varying conditions.
