Personal statement

Dr Liu is a Senior Technologist of Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), University of Strathclyde in the UK. His background is metallic materials and manufacturing engineering, mainly on sheet metal forming technologies. He received his PhD degree in 2013, with a focus on development of a novel superplastic forming process using aluminium and titanium alloys at lower-temperature and faster forming conditions. Before joining AFRC, he was at Imperial College as a post-doctoral researcher working on hot stamping technologies for lightweight applications. He has rich expertise in Materials Characterisation, Microstructure, Forming Processes, FE simulation, etc. Research and Knowledge Exchange Keywords: Lightweight manufacturing Sheet metal forming Aluminium, titanium Finite element modelling Microstructure and texture

Teaching

  • Materials Characterisation

It introduces both the physical principles and practical applications of the more common modern methods of materials characterisation. It covers techniques of both microstructural analysis and micro-chemical, together with various scanning probe microscopy techniques. Emphasis is placed on the information that can be obtained together with the limitations of each technique. 

  • Materials Processing and Manufacturing Technologies

It intends to equip the students with relevant and up-to-date knowledge and skills of advanced design tools, materials, manufacturing processes and systems in conjunction with developing efficient operation and effective management skills. Integrating these will enable the students to pursue a career in both general and specialised engineering industries or develop an in-depth knowledge for a career in industry or academia.

  • Others modules in line with the University policies and guidelines at postgraduate and undergraduate level on Materials and Manufacturing Engineering.
