Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Bento is a research fellow in metal additive manufacturing with 13 years of engineering experience, currently advancing cold wire gas metal arc additive manufacturing (CWGMA) at Cranfield University. His PhD work on the NEWAM project delivered significant productivity and efficiency gains (demonstrator rates up to 9.57 kg/h and process efficiency to 73.5%) and contributed to a patent application, showing a rare blend of experimental rig design, process control and hands-on prototyping. He previously developed inline non‑destructive testing sensors and demonstrators for the LASIMM European project, pairing WAAM production know‑how with quality assurance and sensor integration. Educated at Instituto Superior Técnico with an Erasmus stint in Aarhus, João complements technical depth with teaching and mentoring experience and a background in music training that reflects discipline and creative problem-solving.
