Assistant Professor Sadaf Sobhani created a new manufacturing technique that uses a combination of computational modeling, porous structure design and 3D printing to precisely customize the porous network of porous ceramic materials. Porous ceramics are used in bioreactors, insulators, automobile engines and synthetic bones because of their mechanical strength as well as their ability to resist heat and corrosion, among other properties.
