Iwan Grech

Additive Manufacturing, Corrsion & Nuclear Engineer

Whilst undertaking his Physics degree, Iwan Grech discovered that utilising nuclear energy would be key in reducing global emissions and tackling global warming on a large scale. This led to Grech attaining a master degree in Nuclear Energy, with a focus on the materials used in nuclear fission and fusion plants where he worked on a project at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE). It was during the masters' programme that Grech first became aware of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and the manufacturing techniques potential to reduce waste and allow for rapid product development. Grech has just completed his PhD in the mechanical and corrosion performance of additively manufactured stainless steels.
