Unlocking the Future of Materials - Prof. Junhe Lian's Innovative Approach with ERC Starting Grant

With the prestigious ERC Starting Grant, Assistant Professor Junhe Lian embarks on an ambitious project named HIGMAM. This initiative aims to deepen the understanding of materials and manufacturing interplay through additive manufacturing (3D printing), unveiling unprecedented microstructures that enhance material toughness without compromising strength. Lian’s expertise in analytical modelling, coupled with a multiscale and multiphysics approach, promises a systematic development of these innovative microstructures, potentially revolutionizing the design space in engineering.
