About the Project
Fundamental process understanding and process control in the additive manufacture (3D printing) of metals, including directed-energy deposition and powder-bed techniques.
Supervisor: Prof. A.J. Moore [Email Address Removed]
The Institute of Photonics and Quantum Sciences (IPAQS) carries out broad range of world-leading research in photonic physics, engineering photonics and quantum sciences.
IPAQS builds on Heriot-Watt’s 40+ years of history in world-leading research in photonics and spans a broad range of research – from lasers and optical sensing approaches to future manufacturing methods to the fundamentals of quantum information. As our title suggests, there will be a special focus on quantum sciences and its close relationship with photonics-based technology.
