Digital Design and Manufacturing of Medical Devices and Systems (PDF)

Rajkumar Velu, PhD., is an assistant professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Jammu and 2023 visiting research associate at the University of Michigan (UoM), USA. Priorly worked as a research fellow at the Centre for Laser Aided Intelligent Manufacturing (CLAIM), UoM, USA, and as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Digital Manufacturing and Design Centre (DManD), Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore. He completed his PhD thesis in selective laser sintering of specific biopolymer composites for biomedical application at the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. Dr Velu also receives academic awards for his academic performances at the university level. Consequently, he has considerable insights and knowledge of different polymer, polymer composites, metal alloys and advanced materials used explicitly for additive manufacturing. More than 40 publications were generated from his research activities, and he received a scientific research award at an international conference conducted by Philadelphia University, Amman, Jordan, in 2010. Also, he was a recipient of the "Young Scientist Award" 2018 at the Annual Conference on 3D Printing and Bioprinting in Health Care, Singapore. Dr Velu's research interests encompass engineering design, optimization, and developing advanced manufacturing processes (Additive Manufacturing) and materials for designing and fabricating fuel cell, biomedical and aerospace applications. Moreover, based on his current research practice, he is involved in developing artificial intelligence into an additive manufacturing process to fabricate end-use products and eliminate post-mortem analysis.
