About Bosco
Dr. Bosco Yu obtained his PhD at the University of Cambridge with a research focus on mechanics, materials and design.
He leads a research group () that leverages additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping to develop new generations of composites/hybrid materials and to study their mechanical properties.
These lightweight and recyclable materials can help save weight, thereby reducing carbon emissions and raw materials used in transportation and manufacturing. They can also offer uniquely tailorable material properties (e.g. stiffness, strength and toughness) that can be used to optimize performance for a specific application. This makes them attractive as sustainable solutions in a vast variety of applications (e.g. in the automotive, aerospace, sports and biomedical sectors).
At the Hybrid 3D research lab, we aim to create versatile new materials that can contribute to sustainable development and the green economy in Canada and globally.
