Kartikeya Walia

Kartikeya is a lecturer in the department of engineering at Nottingham Trent University. His research focus lies at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and robotics. During Kartikeya's engineering journey in India, he actively took on projects during his undergraduate years, navigating logistical, financial constraints, and inherent limitations. These challenges fueled innovation, propelling Kartikeya to creatively design prototypes and projects, optimizing designs within the given constraints and making the solutions more economical. The pursuit of efficient material usage due to limitations became a cornerstone, laying the foundation for sustainable design engineering. Design optimization, a guiding principle in Kartikeya's work, extends beyond immediate challenges, fostering more sustainable designs. It serves as a key element for cost savings, careful material use, and thoughtful end-of-life considerations. Embracing additive manufacturing techniques, Kartikeya contributes to minimizing waste and resource consumption, weaving a narrative of innovation and sustainability in his research endeavors.
