Research Interests:
My research interests cover a broad range of areas relating to advanced engineering materials.听 In particular, within my research group we emphasise the inter-relationships between processing, microstructure and properties. Our current grant and contract funded research projects include high performance ceramic-metal composites and coatings, powder metallurgical processing of titanium alloys, boride-based coatings on titanium and iron alloys, ceramic and carbon foams, and porous materials.听 This work invariably has an industrial focus, and I have spent much of my research career in industry, prior to joining 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 in 2004.
