معرفی
Mika Salmi is an Assistant Professor at Aalto University, holding positions in both the Department of Energy and Mechanical Engineering and the Materials to Products unit. His research focuses on Additive Manufacturing (AM), particularly in medical applications, sustainability, and advanced materials. He earned a Doctoral degree in Engineering and Technology from Aalto University (2013) and a Master's degree from Helsinki University of Technology (2009).
Key projects include the DiDiMinH initiative (2019–2023), addressing healthcare production challenges via AM, and the 3DSUS project (2024–2026), exploring data-driven sustainable design. His work spans AM processes like Material Extrusion, Laser Powder Bed Fusion, and 4D Printing, with applications in medical devices, aerospace, and biocompatible materials.
Salmi leads over 116 publications, emphasizing defect detection, legal frameworks for medical AM, and supply chain optimization. He actively participates in editorial boards (e.g., Nature Communications), conferences, and media discussions on AM’s societal impact, including its role in addressing security concerns around 3D-printed weapons.
His datasets include studies on corrosion-resistant lattice structures, middle ear prostheses, and process variability in AM. Salmi collaborates globally, with notable contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through AM-driven sustainability solutions.
