BIO
Dmytro Lesyk joined the Aeronautics Advanced Manufacturing Center (CFAA) of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in October 2023 within the ADAGIO Post-doctoral Fellowship Programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant. His research project is focused on the Laser 3D printing and post-processing of aircraft products: Verifying structural and surface integrity to increase the operating life of heat-resistant superalloy parts. Dr. Dmytro Lesyk is also an Associate Professor at the Laser Systems and Advanced Technologies Department of the National Technical University of Ukraine ''Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute'' since 2021. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2009 and a Master’s degree majoring in ''Advanced Technology for Materials Processing'' in 2011 from the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. In 2016, he obtained his PhD degree majoring in "Processes of Physic-Technical Treatment" at the home institution. PhD thesis titled "Enhancing the surface integrity of steel parts by combined laser-ultrasonic treatment". In 2013-2014, he underwent PhD Fellowship training at the University of the Basque Country under the supervision of Prof. Aitzol Lamikiz within the Erasmus Mundus EWENT Program. Dr. Dmytro Lesyk was awarded the DAAD Research Grant for Doctoral Candidates and Young Academics and Scientists, working at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany in 2018-2019. He also was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Idaho, USA within the Fulbright Research and Development Program in 2022-2023. In 2022-2023, he also recently underwent Post-doctoral Fellowship training at the West Pomeranian University of Technology, Poland within the Ulam NAWA program.
PROJECT
The project is focused on advanced laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing of superalloys applied for the production of responsible heat-proof and corrosion-resistant components. The LPBF technology is considered a new solution with the aim of weight, cost, and time reductions for the aircraft manufacturing industry. On the one hand, the LPBF process is a good additive manufacturing technique for the production of monolithic 3D objects with very complex shapes not achievable through traditional methods. On the other hand, given the safety regulations for aircraft products, the poor surface integrity and structural defects in the printed parts may limit the wider application of the LPBF technique for critical applications despite their vast potential. Therefore, both the optimization of the LPBF parameters and the development of new combined/hybrid post-processing techniques are very relevant as they may improve the surface quality and material properties in the LPBF-printed Ni-based alloy parts. Enhancing the operational properties of the LPBF-fabricated Inconel 718 alloy by novel post-processing techniques is under special attention.
