AMMEM2025
I was honored to present our work from the CPW project at the International Conference on Advanced Materials, Mechanical Engineering, and Manufacturing (AMMEM2025), held in Langkawi Island, Malaysia last 19–21 November 2025. This event brought together researchers from across the globe, including Australia, Japan, China, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, India, and more, for a rich exchange of ideas and innovations in materials science and engineering. The conference featured insig

ACEX2025
I have attended ACEX 2025 last June in Naples, Italy, where I presented project deliverables and shared key findings with the additive manufacturing community. The event provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and discussions with experts in the field. I am grateful to MSCA-PF for supporting this work and enabling dissemination of the project outcomes. #ACEX2025 #AdditiveManufacturing #MSCA #PolymerEngineering #UniversityofMalta

Excited to share our latest research on the 3D printability of post-industrial recycled polypropylene (rPP)! 😊 In this work, we explore how real-time infrared imaging can be used to predict and optimize printing parameters. Through in-situ thermal analysis, we establish process–structure–property relationships critical to improving the performance of recycled semicrystalline polymers. This study represents an important step toward more sustainable additive manufacturing. Th
