Dr Adam Rushworth

Associate Professor in Materials and Manufacturing, PGCHE

About

Dr Adam Rushworth obtained his MEng in Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics in 2011 from the University of Nottingham (UK), where he subsequently completed his PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2015. He conducted research as a Research Fellow as part of the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in On-platform Repair and Manufacturing Technology, focusing on topics such as robotics for in-situ inspection, manufacture and repair, mechatronics and machining.

Research Interests

Adam has experience in the simulation, design, modelling, construction and control of robots and mechatronic systems for in-situ inspection and repair, parallel kinematic machine tools and surgical robots. He has developed a number of novel machines, including a new type of 3D printer for metals based on Droplet on Demand technology.

Major research interests:

  • Robotics
  • Mechatronics
  • Advanced Manufacturing Techniques
  • Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)
  • Laser Ablation
  • Metal Materials
