PhD in Manufacturing and Materials - Laser Processing and Joining

Coventry University

Research within this theme focuses on understanding laser processing and joining and how this can be applied to industrial applications. This includes but is not limited to the investigation of laser welding to enhance and optimise joining in the manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries, surface engineering applications in the development and enhancement of hydrogen fuel cells and drilling/laser incision for enhancing wood modification and preservative treatments for the timber industry. Our mission is to become essential to our industrial partners by providing novel laser-based applications to help them achieve their aspirations. Our research aims to increase our understanding of laser-material interactions and how laser processing and joining can be optimised and enhanced for industrial applications.
