R. Tutunea-Fatan Primary research is in the area of ultraprecise single point cutting (USPC). This newly-developed technology - conceived as a merge between the conventional five-axis computer-numerically controlled (CNC) machining and single point diamond cutting - has found numerous applications in surface functionalization. Through this technique, an array of micro- or nano-structures are added to the external surfaces of various industrial components in order to augment their optical, hydro-phylic/phobic, oleo-phylic/phobic, icephobic, antifouling (to name a just a few) properties and/or behaviour. Additional research interests include computer-aided design/manufacturing/engineering techniques related to high-volume fabrication of composite components as well as the development of advanced computer-based methods for visualization and/or representation of complex geometries as encountered in the broader context of virtual orthopaedic surgeries.
