Associate ProfessorWei Xu

Dr Wei Xu is currently an associate professor in the School of Engineering at Deakin University in Australia. He received undergraduate/master engineering training in materials science and engineering from Northwestern Polytechnical University and completed his PhD in materials engineering from National University of Singapore. Prior to joining Deakin, he had been working as a Senior Lecturer at Macquarie University, a Senior Research Fellow at RMIT University, a Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, and an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at the Technical University of Darmstadt. His research expertise includes metal additive manufacturing of titanium alloys and microstructural control, low modulus biocompatible titanium alloys, nanostrucutred metallic alloys and composites by severe plastic deformation, and solidification and phase transformation of metallic materials.
