معرفی
Dr. Denis Politis is a Research Associate at Imperial College London's Department of Mechanical Engineering, specializing in metal forming and materials modelling. He contributes to EU-funded projects like LoCoLite and LoCoMaTech, focusing on lightweight automotive/aerospace components. His qualifications include a PhD (2014) and MEng (2010) in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London. He holds Chartered Engineer status and is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
Research interests center on HFQ sheet forming, forging techniques, lightweight gear design, and computational materials modeling. He has pioneered methods to reduce forming forces in precision forging and optimize material performance in multi-material systems.
Publications span advanced manufacturing technologies, with notable work on titanium alloy hot stamping and laser-welded aluminum-lithium alloys. His research emphasizes experimental-numerical synergy, evidenced by peer-reviewed contributions to journals like International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology and Materials Science and Engineering A.
Received the Best Paper Prize (2015) for work on forming limit prediction. Editorial roles include reviewer for Metals and the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Industry experience includes roles at Hellenic Aerospace Industries across aero-engines and composites divisions.
Active in collaborative projects involving EU initiatives and international conferences (e.g., IDDRG, ICTP). Leads efforts in developing computational tools for material property determination and process optimization in manufacturing systems.
