Research

In my research group, we focus on developing process-driven solutions for additive manufacturing of next-generation materials, such as alloys containing rare-earth metals, high-performance metal alloys, and high-temperature materials. We use numerical, analytical, and experimental methods to establish the process-structure-property-performance relationships for these materials. The group works with a number of national and international collaborators from industry, government, and academia to offer advanced manufacturing solutions that can lead to clean technology, net-zero emissions, and industrial transformation in the Canadian industry. 

Research Interests:

• Additive manufacturing of high-performance metal alloys
• Additive manufacturing of alloys containing rare-earth metals
• In-situ monitoring and control for additive manufacturing
• Multiphysics modelling of manufacturing processes
• Process-structure-property-performance relationships
• Hybrid additive manufacturing
• Design for additive manufacturing
