Welcome!
I am a warranted mechanical engineer and am reading for a
PhD at the
Concurrent Engineering Research Unit
at the
Department of
Industrial
& Manufacturing
Engineering within the
Faculty of Engineering of the University of Malta.
The objective of my research is to
provide an
intelligent design support approach framework that will aid engineering designers
working in the interdisciplinary product
design domain by forwarding pro-active
guidance to them from
customer specifications.
The design
of minimally invasive surgical instruments (that combines knowledge coming
from the medical discipline and from the micro manufacturing discipline) is taken as a case-study.
The research is
sponsored by the
Malta Government Scholarship Scheme.
In parallel with this research work, I have been
also working on a Research & Innovation project
IDeLap funded by the
Malta Council for Science and Technology.
Hope you will find this webpage of interest.
