Prof. Bruno Azeredo – Principal Investigator
Dr. Bruno Azeredo is the Fulton Development Associate Professor of Manufacturing Engineering in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. He holds an appointment in the School for Manufacturing Systems and Networks and is a member of the graduate faculty in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Materials Science. Prior to joining ASU, Dr. Azeredo earned his B.S. in engineering mechanics in 2010, M.S. in theoretical and applied mechanics in 2013, and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering in 2016, all from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on scalable nanomaterial synthesis and its size-dependent properties with an eye at exploiting them in additive- and nano-manufacturing platforms and enable the production of multi-scale and multi-material structures. For his contributions to scalable nanomanufacturing, he is recipient of awards such as the 2018 Bisgrove Scholars Award from the Science Foundation Arizona, the 2020 National Science Foundation CAREER award, and the 2022 SME Sandra L. Bouckley Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award. His publication record can be found here: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=fajxvaYAAAAJ&hl=en
