Akshay J. Thomas works on advanced manufacturing and materials engineering, with a focus on 3D printing (additive manufacturing) of fiber-reinforced polymer composites and on methods to monitor the structural health of composite materials using electrical sensing techniques. This research aims to improve how strong, lightweight composite parts are made and how their condition can be tracked over time to detect damage.
