Sampada Bodkhe

Sampada Bodkhe is an Associate Professor in the department of Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montreal since 2021 and holds a Canada Research Chair Tier 2 in Advanced Manufacturing of Multifunctional Adaptive Structures. She received her PhD from Polytechnique Montreal in 2017, where she developed techniques to 3D print piezoelectric sensors via co-extrusion-based direct-write 3D printing. Her PhD work was chosen as the 10 Best Discoveries of the Year 2018 by Quebec Science Magazine. During her post-doc, she worked at Composite Materials and Adaptive Systems Laboratory at ETH Zurich, on establishing competencies in 3D printing of adaptive systems, multifunctional materials and structures. Prior to her PhD, she worked as an Edison Engineer at General Electric aviation, India. She holds a M.Tech in Aerospace Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Visveswaraya Technological University, India. She has keen interests in build
