معرفی
Arun Arjunan is a Research Professor at the University of Wolverhampton’s Faculty of Science and Engineering. He serves as Director of the Centre for Engineering Innovation and Research (CEIR) and leads the Additive Manufacturing of Functional Materials (AMFM) research group. His expertise spans advanced additive manufacturing, metamaterials, and sustainable material development, with a focus on biomedical and environmental applications. He obtained a fully funded PhD in structural mechanics and vibro-acoustics, and earned the Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA) for his pedagogical leadership.
His research emphasizes developing metamaterials with unique mechanical, acoustic, and biological properties. Key contributions include meta-biomaterials for tissue regeneration, infection-resistant implants, and Herschel Quincke-Arjunan waveguides for noise cancellation. The AMFM group integrates interdisciplinary specialists to innovate in 3D printing functional materials.
The 15 most recent publications highlight his work in additive manufacturing across biomedical implants, water treatment, thermoelectrics, and sustainable infrastructure. Notable trends include sustainability in metal AM, bioprinting, and biochar-based solutions for contaminant removal.
