Research domains

  • Inventive design (TRIZ)
  • Machining & manufacturing processes
  • Additive manufacturing (metals, polymers, lattice structures)
  • Multi-objective optimisation
  • AI-assisted problem formulation

Hicham Chibane works at the interface of manufacturing engineering and inventive design. His publications cover machining and additive manufacturing (cutting conditions, Inconel 718 produced by laser melting, 3D-printed polymers and lattice structures) and the move "beyond optimisation" towards TRIZ contradictions, with recent work using AI to formulate problems and retrieve knowledge for inventive design.
