Advanced Structural Materials Group at PolyU Logo

Welcome to the Advanced Structural Materials Group at PolyU.

Our research focuses on the development of advanced structural materials, including advanced ultrahigh-strength steels, high-entropy alloys, high-temperature superalloys and intermetallics, and nanocrystalline alloys. We are utilizing our expertise in computational modelling, processing, and mechanical & microstructural characterization to develop new materials for a wide range of applications including aerospace, automotive, and energy industries.
