Dr. Georgios Koronis is a Post Doc Research Fellow in the International Design Centre of Singapore University of Technology and Design. His current research interests include predicting natural composite durability via nondestructive methods aiming on understanding in more depth the mechanical behavior of natural fiber reinforced composites using both experimental and analytical/numerical methods. He obtained his PhD under a research grant by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology on the Doctoral Program of Engineering Design and Advanced Manufacturing at the University of Lisbon - Portugal. During that time, he evaluated and investigated in depth a series of green composite materials for automobile applications in order to replace conventional polymer composites. He has been an invited peer reviewer for a number of scientific journals in the area of advanced and natural based composite materials.

Arlindo has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and more than 25 years of teaching and research experience. His current research interests rest on engineering design, product development, creativity, materials selection methodologies, additive manufacturing in composite structures, cost modeling and management of uncertainty in design. He published over a hundred papers in journals, conferences and book chapters, more than 50 patents and three books in engineering related topics. He received the MIT-Portugal Education Innovation Award in 2009 and was a Professor of Excellence at the University of Lisbon in 2009, 2013, 2014 and 2015, before joining the Singapore University of Technology and Design as an Associate Professor at the Engineering Product Development Pillar. He was also a Senior Materials Education consultant at Granta Design Ltd, Cambridge, UK, and is an active member of PDMA, ASEE, ASME, INCOSE, DS, and SPEE. He is the current NAMIC (National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster) Hub Director at SUTD, liaising Singaporean companies with SUTD's expertise in Additive Manufacturing and Composites Technologies through the DManD (Digital Manufacturing and Design) Center. He currently teaches Introduction to Design and develops his research between the SUTD-MIT International Design Center, where he co-leads the Experimental Design Thrust, and DManD.
