About
Dr. Phyo Thu Maung is a leading researcher in the design and manufacture of shape-adaptive composite structures, with a primary focus on marine and aerospace applications. Their work centers on the optimization of curved fibre paths and automated fibre placement (AFP) to create high-performance, morphing components. Dr. Maung’s most-cited paper, "Curved fibre path optimisation for improved shape adaptive composite propeller blade design" (2020, 24 citations), introduced a novel methodology for tailoring fibre orientation to enhance the adaptive efficiency of propeller blades. This foundational work was extended in their 2022 study, "Design and manufacture of a shape-adaptive full-scale composite hydrofoil using automated fibre placement" (7 citations), which demonstrated the practical feasibility of producing large-scale, adaptive marine foils through AFP. By bridging computational optimization with advanced manufacturing, Dr. Maung has made significant contributions to the development of lightweight, efficient, and controllable composite structures. Their research not only advances the state of the art in adaptive composites but also offers tangible pathways for next-generation propulsion and control surfaces in marine and aerospace systems.
