Dr. Chukwugozie Ejeh earned his Ph.D. from Khalifa University, UAE, after receiving the prestigious Graduate Teaching and Research Scholarship Award from the host institution. His thesis focused on the design, modeling, 3D printing, and testing of functionally graded metamaterials based on triply periodic minimal surface lattices to enhance impact, flexural, and compression loading performance of engineering structures.
He currently works as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow within the Advanced Digital and Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) group in the Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Khalifa University, UAE. His research is centered on developing new implicit strategies for designing functionally graded, multifunctional lightweight metamaterials and metastructures to meet various industrial needs, particularly in aerospace, automotive, civil infrastructure, and oil and gas sectors. His designs are realized using various additive manufacturing techniques, with mechanical properties assessed through finite element simulations and testing under impact, flexural, compression, and tension loading conditions.
Adding to the above, Dr. Chukwugozie Ejeh research on implicit design of functionally graded lattices to enhance the performance of heat exchangers, single and multiphase flow systems, heat sinks, and water treatment systems, based on computational fluid dynamics simulations.
