Principal Investigator
Dr. Matteo Seita (CV)
email: ms2932@cam.ac.uk
Matteo is a Granta Design Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering (Division of Mechanics, Materials and Design) at the University of Cambridge, and the head of the AddME Lab. Before joining the University of Cambridge, Matteo was Nanyang Assistant Professor at NTU Singapore, where he held appointments in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the School of Materials Science and Engineering, and the Asian School of the Environment.
During his tenure at NTU, Dr. Seita was awarded the prestigious NRF Fellowship—a S$3M individual grant for early-career scientists—to develop novel additive manufacturing strategies for microstructure control of metal alloys. He earned his Ph.D. in Materials Science from ETH Zurich in 2012 and then spent three years as a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT.
In 2022, he was selected as the recipient of the TMS Young Innovator in the Materials Science of Additive Manufacturing Award.

Postdocs
Dr. Le Tan Phuc
During his PhD, Le has developed novel in-line monitoring techniques to quantify the powder layer quality during LPBF processes, and to study the effects of powder bed defects on the mechanical properties of the material. Currently, Le is working on a proof-of-concept design to commercialize DRM.

PhD Students
Chenyang Zhu
Chenyang is originally from Shaoxing, China. After graduating from Shanghai Jiao Tong University with a Bachelor degree in Materials Science and Engineering (2019), he started his PhD at the AddME Lab and is currently supervised by Matteo and Huajian Gao at NTU. His current research focus is on DRM. He has developed new methods to interpret the optical signal measured during DRM on real engineering components.
