Dr. Andrey Molotnikov

Andrey Molotnikov completed his undergraduate degree in Mathematics at Clausthal University of Technology in Germany in 2005 and PhD degree in the field of computational materials science in 2010 at Monash University. He subsequently undertook a post-doctoral research in the area of metallic composites and architectured/hybrid materials in ARC Centre for Light Metals, Melbourne from 2011-2014. He is currently appointment as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Monash University, Australia.

Andrey ’s main research interests include additive manufacturing, architectured materials and computational materials science. He is a CI in the ARC Research Hub for Transforming Australia’s Manufacturing Industry through High Value Additive Manufacturing and leads several projects focusing on alloy design for additive manufacturing, multi-material processing and quality control of SLM process. Andrey was involved in organising a symposium on Additive Manufacturing at the 9th Pacific Rim International Conference on Advanced Materials and Processing in Kyoto, Japan (2016) and also acted as a co-chair ‘Materials’ discipline of the 17th Australian International Aerospace Congress and the 1st and 2nd Asia Pacific International Conference on Additive Manufacturing. He was awarded the Rod Rickards Fellowship from the Australian Academy of Science, ALMA2016 award from the Japan Institute of Light Metals and Early Career Researcher Prize for the best oral presentation at the 4th International Conference on Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation, NanoSPD4.
