    Konstantinos Sierros

    Associate Professor
    Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering

    304.293.3420

    Konstantinos (Kostas) Sierros received a B.S. (2001) in mechanical engineering from the University of Newcastle (UK) and an M.S. (2002) in polymer engineering and science from the University of Birmingham (UK). He earned his Ph.D. (2006) from the University of Birmingham (UK) in materials science and engineering. He is an associate professor with the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at WVU. Kostas' current research is focused on multifunctional ink materials and novel additive manufacturing approaches. Applications include energy (i.e. harvesting, storage), sensing, and soft robotics. He is the founder and advisor of WVU's Human Powered Vehicle Design Team and he is also interested in design-based teaching approaches. When not teaching/researching, Kostas enjoys long distance running, reading, and coloring.

    Savan Suri

    Doctoral
    Electrical Engineering

    Savan Suri is a PhD student focused on 3D printing at nano & micro scale. Savan's research mainly focuses on work using an additive manufacturing technique called ‘electrohydrodynamic jetting’ for creating optical & biological sensors. He is also currently exploring using AI tools for finding new materials and techniques in 3D printing of nano scale depositions. Savan's previous published works include nanofabrication and study of electrochemical, biological and optical sensors. In his spare time Savan likes hiking, photography, playing volleyball & exploring national parks in the US.
