About

Dr. Dongmin Yang is a leading researcher in advanced composite materials and additive manufacturing, with a focus on bio-inspired structural design and 3D printing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. His work bridges nature-inspired engineering and cutting-edge fabrication techniques to enhance the mechanical performance of lightweight composites. In his highly cited 2023 study (16 citations), Dr. Yang demonstrated that bio-inspired structured interfaces can significantly improve the interlayer performance of short carbon fiber reinforced composites, offering a novel pathway to overcome delamination challenges. More recently, his 2025 paper introduced a groundbreaking aligned fibre deposition (AFD) method using a 6-axis robotic arm to produce high-performance curved sections in 3D printed continuous carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites. By comparing mechanically tested curved beams fabricated via AFD and conventional methods, Dr. Yang’s work showcases superior structural integrity and design flexibility, marking a notable achievement in robotic additive manufacturing. His contributions are driving the next generation of high-strength, geometrically complex composite components for aerospace, automotive, and biomedical applications.
