Professor Ramezani’s research focuses on advanced manufacturing and materials, complemented by his proficiency in mechanical design and analysis. His research interests span a wide range of topics, including additive manufacturing, composite materials, material deformation processes, product and process design, and orthopaedic implants. His work has contributed significantly to the development of novel materials, manufacturing processes, and technologies aimed at improving the performance, reliability, and sustainability of various engineering applications.

In additive manufacturing, he explores techniques for fabricating complex structures with customised mechanical and tribological properties. Notably, he has developed innovative additive manufacturing systems for producing bespoke components. He is particularly interested in the additive manufacturing of functional materials with enhanced wear resistance and friction reduction capabilities, and high-temperature tribology of load-bearing materials fabricated by powder bed fusion additive manufacturing techniques.

In the field of composite materials, Professor Ramezani investigates methods to manufacture and optimise the properties and performance of advanced nanocomposites for a variety of applications, including coating systems, biomimetic cartilage implants, triboelectric nanogenerators for energy harvesting, metamaterials with tailored frictional and mechanical properties, and self-lubricating materials.

In orthopaedic implants, Professor Ramezani focuses on the design and manufacturing of innovative load-bearing knee prostheses. These patient-specific implant solutions are tailored to the unique needs of younger patients with knee osteoarthritis, aiming to delay or potentially eliminate the need for total knee replacement.

He also conducts research on lubricants and superlubricity, with a focus on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of friction reduction and wear resistance, as well as developing innovative lubrication strategies to achieve ultra-low friction coefficients, particularly in manufacturing processes.

Dedicated to furthering knowledge in manufacturing and mechanical engineering, Professor Ramezani aims to make a positive impact through his research and educational endeavours, contributing to the advancement of these fields and improving the lives of people worldwide.
