Dr Medad C. C. Monu, the Lead TRP Researcher, brings specialised expertise in infrared pyrometry and in-situ melt-pool monitoring for laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB). He holds a PhD in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (DCU, Ireland), an MSc in Mechanical Engineering (University of Portsmouth, UK), and BEng/MEng degrees in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (FUTO and FUTA, Nigeria). His research over the past five years has directly established the technical foundation of PyroVista, including the full development of a functional software demonstrator that processes, analyses, and models high-volume infrared pyrometry data for quality prediction. Notably, Dr Monu built this demonstrator through self-taught software programming and development, a deliberate effort to expand his technical capabilities and create a deployable tool rather than a purely academic prototype.
