Portrait of Alexander Pittaras

Alexander Pittaras

I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Imperial College London (MEng, First Class Honours), passionate about Additive Manufacturing, robotics, and automation, particularly autonomous systems. I am currently a graduate researcher in the Metal Forming and Materials Modelling Group under Professor Li-Liang Wang, studying metal forming process simulation using Machine Learning and Exploratory Data Analysis. Please take a look at selected work from my studies and research.

Featured Projects

Tribological testing setup

Autonomous NDT Tribological Process Simulator

Computer Vision Python SolidWorks ML

This rig automates high-temperature scratch testing; Python computer vision quantifies wear and ML detects galling, backed by a local-to-cloud data pipeline.

Robot arm controlled by code

Natural Language Robotic Programming (Edu-Rob)

ESP32 LLMs C++ Web Bluetooth

The robot converts plain-English instructions into validated ESP32 control code via an LLM-backed web interface; project finished runner-up at ICHACK25.

Liquid-propellant rocket launch

Liquid Rocket (EuRoC)

Fusion 360 CFD FEA

Designed, manufactured, and flown to 2,664 m in the liquid 3 km category; achieved the first liquid-propellant launch in competition history, with work spanning propulsion, structures, and systems integration.
