Professor Shunyu Liu
She joined the Department of Automotive Engineering at Clemson University as an Assistant Professor in January 2021. She received her Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University in December 2020 and her M.S., B.E. in Materials Science and Engineering from North China Electric Power University in 2015 and 2012. She is the recipient of the NSF CAREER Award in 2023. Her research areas include laser additive manufacturing (AM), hybrid AM, and advanced materials development. Her experimental research focuses on AM synthesis of advanced alloys and metal-based materials, multi-material fabrication, and metallurgical defect elimination. The materials include high entropy alloys, bulk metallic glasses, metal matrix composites, nuclear materials, magnetic materials, and various industrial alloys. Her computational research includes physics-based modeling and data-driven modeling to establish the process-structure-property relationship, inverse process optimization, and material design. Lying at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, materials science, applied mathematics, and data science, her research aims to advance manufacturing capabilities to enable material innovations.
