Associate Professor · TU Delft · company speakers →

Dr. Kunal Masania is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. After studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Loughborough, Kunal carried out his PhD at Imperial College London on nanoscale toughening of thermosetting polymers. His ground-breaking work on size effects that has since been adopted by academia and industry. At the University of Applied Sciences of Northwestern (FHNW) Switzerland he developed a variety of advanced processing approaches for high-performance composites. Then Kunal joined the Complex Materials Group at ETH Zürich, to develop new bio-inspired materials, 3D printing of biological materials and nacre-like composites. His group at TU Delft now re-imagine how composites are made today, with an emphasis on structuring hierarchical materials in three dimensions using design inspiration from the natural world. Having co-founded two startups, he very much likes to push breakthrough science to applications that can impact society.
