Research Update
Projects page is now online.
Our new project page presents active research directions in correlative microstructure–mechanics analysis, surface/subsurface microstructure–property engineering, deformation-processed heterostructures, and titanium-based powder metallurgy and metal matrix composites.
Welcome to the Team!

About Us
We investigate microstructure–mechanics relationships in advanced alloys and composites, with a strong focus on severe plastic deformation (e.g., ECAP) and surface engineering (e.g., shot peening and related mechanical surface treatments). Using HRDIC-enabled in situ SEM together with correlative characterisation (e.g., EBSD, TEM/HRTEM, and X-ray CT), we uncover how hierarchical and hetero-structured architectures govern strengthening, strain heterogeneity, and damage resistance at the microstructural scale.
We translate these insights into advanced materials developed via powder metallurgy (PM), additive manufacturing (AM), and SPD-based processing for failure-critical applications (e.g., biomedical implants, aerospace structures, and energy/transport components).
