Prof. Dr. Kristina Shea

Prof. Kristina Shea is the head of Engineering Design and Computing Laboratory (EDAC).

We combine engineering design, computation and fabrication to design and prototype creative engineering systems with new functionalities that help to achieve sustainable development goals.

We are both curiosity and impact driven.

Current research topics include computational design, design for Additive Manufacturing (AM), multi-​material AM and 4D printing as well as new research in development engineering. We investigate a wide variety of application areas across a number of industries including consumer products, space, automotive, built environment and biomedical.
