Dr. Wei Fan is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, where he also earned his PhD. His research focuses on advanced mechanical recycling of multi-material structures such as fibre-based packaging. He is particularly interested in cavitation-assisted delamination, fracture mechanics, and process optimisation for sustainable recycling. Wei has collaborated with leading industrial partners such as Tetra Pak to develop innovative, scalable solutions that bridge fundamental science with industrial practice, and his work contributes to advancing circular economy strategies in materials engineering.
