Research Interests: Digital manufacturing, Computational design, Geometric computing, CAD/CAM, Topological analysis, Mathematical optimisation
I'm a PhD candidate (Computational Design) at the EPSRC CDT Topological Design (School of Physics and Astronomy) of University of Birmingham, advised by Hyunyoung Kim, David Lee Butler and Lauren E.J. Thomas-Seale. My current work is at the intersection of computer-aided manufacturing, applied mathematics and geometric computing, with a focus on developing process planning frameworks to address practical problems in additive manufacturing processes.
In 2022, I graduated from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) with a MPhil in Smart Manufacturing, where I worked on curved-layer process planning for multi-axis additive manufacturing, under the supervision of Ravindra Gonnetilleke and Kai Tang.
Even prior to that, I graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a BEng (Hons) degree in Electronic Engineering and was honoured to receive the Pro Vice Chancellor's award for the Best Performer - Class of 2019.
I'm open to new collaborations and opportunities. Please reach out to me through dxj219@student.bham.ac.uk.
