About
Dr. Suhas Alkunte is a leading researcher at the forefront of additive manufacturing and advanced materials, with a particular focus on functionally graded materials (FGMs) and multi-material 3D printing. His most impactful work, the 2024 comprehensive review on additively manufactured FGMs, has already garnered over 107 citations, establishing it as a key reference in the field. This paper systematically explores design strategies, fabrication techniques, and material selection for FGMs, addressing critical challenges and charting future directions. Dr. Alkunte further advances the field through his holistic review of material extrusion-based multi-material 3D printing (2025, 17 citations), which synthesizes recent breakthroughs in combining disparate materials within a single print. His experimental work on the fatigue analysis of additively manufactured short carbon fiber-reinforced PETG components (2023, 17 citations) provides essential insights into the mechanical durability of composite structures. By bridging fundamental materials science with practical manufacturing challenges, Dr. Alkunte’s research is driving innovation toward more robust, multifunctional, and application-specific additively manufactured components.
