**Closing Date**:

- Friday 07 July 2023**Reference**:

- ENG231823The role is to support an emerging thread of interdisciplinary research between the Faculty of Engineering and School of Computer Science spanning the areas of Additive Manufacturing, generative design and robotics. It will initially involve working across two projects.

The first project aims to develop new methods and understanding of how to deliver additively manufactured adaptable porous surfaces for use in aerofoil structures to reduce noise. At the end of the project, we will have delivered understanding and demonstrated the ability of an aerofoil structure to adapt porosity to different flow conditions, such as flow speed and boundary layer thickness. To achieve the appropriate adaptability using additive manufacturing is technically challenging since it requires shape-memory actuators or piezo-electric materials to be printed with conductive interconnects to deliver and transmit their electrical power and voltage signals, respectively. The role holder will have excellent knowledge of electronics and adaptive materials and innovative electronics fabrication methods, and an interest in developing 3D printing / additive manufacturing as a method to incorporate multifunctionality into electronics based devices.

The second project is to explore how consumers can interact with generative design algorithms to personalise 3D printed products so that they are more accessible and personally meaningful. This will build on recent research that has demonstrated the feasibility of such an approach and established an initial design and manufacturing pipeline [1]. This project, funded as part of the Horizon Digital Economy Research Centre, will collaborate with the Centre for Dance Research at Coventry University and disabled dancers to explore how they might customize a variety of props, sets, accessibility aids and other products that could be used in dance performance.
