MAPP’s First International Conference

MAPP’s First International Conference is already attracting a great deal of interest from both industry and academic sectors.

Running over two days, on Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st January 2018, we are delighted to be welcoming such eminent keynote speakers.

For example, opening with the first keynote ‘3D Analysis of structure and defects at the scale of the melt pool’ is Professor Tresa Pollock from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Professor Pollock is a world-renowned expert in advanced structural alloys, with particular application in the aerospace, energy and automotive industries.

Other keynotes include Professor Barbara Previtali from the Polytechnic of Milan talking on ‘In-situ monitoring of laser additive processes with off-axis and in axis sensors’ and Professor Fabrice Rossignol at the French National Centre for Scientific Research on ‘Additive manufacturing of complex micro-reactors for intensified catalytic processes: the case of H2 production by steam methane reforming.'

Professor Jin Ooi from the University of Edinburgh, Professor Javier Llorca from the IMDEA Materials Institute in Madrid and Professor Carolin Korner from the Friedrich-Alexander Universtat, Erlangen-Nurnberg are also presenting keynotes –details are updated regularly on the conference webpage.
In additional to our invited speakers we have also received many abstracts for short presentations and posters, and those successful will be notified after Friday 17th November 2017. We aim to be able to announce our final programme by mid-December and registration closes on Friday 19th January 2018. Click here to register.
