Professional Experience

Postdoc Research Associate

Iowa State University, USA(ISU) (2023-Present)

• Project 1: Designing and developing Lattice Materials with different structures to improve the mechanical properties of the materials

• Project 2: Designing and manufacturing the Compositional- and Property-Gradient Material of the Ti-alloys by Additive Manufacturing, Direct Energy Deposition (DED)

• Project 3: Designing and developing an innovative and rare characterization tool, Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy (SRAS), which can offer insight into the crystallographic texture of materials on a broader scale. The non-destructive characterization tool SRAS is only available at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, and currently, we are building the 2nd unit.
