Osvaldo M. QuerinOsvaldo M. Querin is Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Leeds in the UK. He is Senior Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society (FRAS) and secretary of the Association for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization in UK (ASMO-UK). He has taught: aerospace flight mechanics, aerospace structures, aircraft design, design optimization, finite element analysis, rotary wing aircraft and structural analysis. His research interests lie in structural topology optimization, having been instrumental in the development of the Bi-directional ESO (BESO), Sequential Element Rejection and Addition (SERA) and Isolines/Isosurfaces Topology Design (ITD) methods of topology optimisation. He has published 8 edited books, 3 book chapters, 52 journal and 87 conference publications. Resent research projects are: A biomimetic, self-tuning, fully adaptable smart lower limb prosthetics with energy recover; Carbon fibre tape spring for self-deploying space structures; Development of an automated structural optimisation process for small aerospace parts; and Advanced Lattice Structures for Composite Airframes (ALaSCA).
