Dr. Mazher Iqbal Mohammed - a.k.a. Iqy - of Loughborough University has become the new coordinator of the DiCoMI project following the appointment of Prof. Richard Bibb as the Associate Dean Research in Nottingham School of Art & Design, at Nottingham Trent University.
Iqy is a senior lecturer in digital fabrication, a member of the Digital Design and Fabrication Research Group within the Loughborough University Design School and an Honorary Research Fellow with Deakin University’s School of Medicine.
His qualifications include a combined undergraduate Master’s in physics (MPhys) from the University of Edinburgh and an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) in medical device biotechnology from the University of Strathclyde. Iqy has worked in academia for over ten years across several institutes both in the UK and Australia, including roles at Heriot Watt University, the Australian National University (ANU) and Deakin University. During this time, he has developed a highly multidisciplinary skill set working at the intersection of design, manufacturing, material sciences, chemistry and biomedical engineering.
Iqy’s research interests focus on digitally driven fabrication technologies, aimed at positively impacting human development and longevity. He is particularly interested in the intersection of disruptive technologies such as additive manufacturing, design and data driven processes to develop innovative and practical solutions in fields ranging across healthcare, humanitarian technologies, closed-loop sustainable manufacturing and Industry 4.0.
