Daniel Therriault is a full professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Polytechnique Montreal. He formerly held an Industrial Chair on the additive manufacturing (AM) of polymer composites (FACMO Chair, 2018-2023) and also a Canada Research Chair on the fabrication of advanced microsystems and materials (2009-2019). He is the co-director of the Laboratory for Multiscale Mechanics (LM2), and his research interests are mainly related to AM of advanced materials and multifunctional composites. Past contributions include the development of innovative AM processes (e.g., 6-axis non-planar, multi-material multi-process), and the design and fabrication of multifunctional materials (e.g., carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, abradable thermosets, piezoelectric materials) for advanced applications mainly for aerospace but also with high potentials for transportation, energy and biomedical sectors.
