Dr Yuze Huang

Lecturer

Research Overview

Yuze serves as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Mechanical Engineering. His research primarily revolves around Metal Additive Manufacturing and Welding, with a key focus on process development, modelling, optimisation, defects digitalisation, and their elimination. Yuze's current research interests include:

  • Metal additive manufacturing (Wire-DED, Powder-DED, L-PBF/SLM, E-PBF), laser cladding and welding.
  • Physics-informed modeling (machine learning and mechanistic models), monitoring to suppress defects and enhance quality control in metal additive manufacturing and welding.
  • Metal matrix composites additive manufacturing.
  • Bi-materials and multi-materials additive manufacturing.
  • Hybrid advanced manufacturing.
