Background

Dr. Jialuo Ding is currently a Principal Research Fellow in Additive Manufacturing, in Cranfield University. She got her PhD degree from Cranfield University in 2013. She is leading the research development of the digital aspects of the wire based Direct Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing process (w-DED AM), including process modelling and simulation, process monitoring and control, and the applications of large-scale DED AM component building. In addition, she is the Research Programme Lead of WAAMMat Programme, which is a rolling research programme aiming at providing industrial solutions based on WAAM process, and is responsible for the delivery of research and industrial projects in the WAAMMat Programme.
