School of Eng & Tech
My expertise:ÌýMy primary research interests are in modelling for additive manufacturing, multiscale methods, computational materials science, and computational mechanics. My current research focuses on processing-microstructure-property relationships in metal additive manufacturing. My research philosophy is to transfer knowledge to practice.ÌýI am always keen to collaborate with academics and industry professionalsÌýinterested in additive manufacturing.
My bio:ÌýI am aÌýLecturer (equivalent to the rank of assistant professor in North America)Ìýin Mechanical Engineering and a Mechanical Engineering Program Coordinator in the School of Engineering and Technology (SET) at UNSW Canberra. BeforeÌýcoming to UNSW in 2022, I worked atÌýthe Airbus Endowed ChairÌýfor Integrative Simulation and Engineering of Materials and Processes (University of Bremen, DE). My previous experience also includes work at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Tomsk Polytechnic University, and Tomsk State University (RU), and visiting positions at UNSW Canberra, University of Bremen, Sao Paulo State University (BR), andÌýCentre of Materials Mines ParisTech (FR).
Editorial: I am a Junior Editorial Board Member in Journal of Materials Informatics and Digital Manufacturing Technology and a Topical Advisory Panel Member in Metals. In 2023, I served as a Guest Editor in Metals, Special Issue 'Microstructure and Properties of Metallic Materials Produced by Additive Manufacturing').
Professional Membership:ÌýSME (formerly the Society of Manufacturing Engineers);ÌýAustralian Materials Research Society;ÌýWomen in High Performance Computing;ÌýInternational Association of Advanced Materials;ÌýAdvance HE (formerlyÌýthe Higher Education Academy; Associate Fellow); Materials Australia (Certified Materials Professional). I am an ACT representative on the National Awards Committee of Materials Australia.
***ÌýUNSW Canberra offers faculty scholarships of up to $35,000 per annum for PhD students who hold or areÌýclose to completion of a First-Class Honours or equivalent undergraduate degree and/or have completed a Masters by Research.ÌýIn addition, you must meet the UNSW English language requirements.Ìý
Ìý are available. For more information, please refer to the following links on and Ìýto apply for a research degree.
I am keen to consider applications for projects on modelling for metal additive manufacturing, in particular onÌý
- processing-microstructure-property relationships in metal additive manufacturing
- microstructure evolution during metal additive manufacturing
- mechanical behaviour of additively manufactured materials under different types of mechanical loading
The topics include model development and optimisation (in-house code, commercial finite-element software, open-source software, and programming from scratch).

I have been a holder of 15 grants (as a CI). Besides, I developed a German part of the international project proposal from the ground up and coordinated the development of the joint proposal with partners. The project was supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR).

My research strives to optimise and improve materials and parts created by additive and subtractive manufacturing, as well as the production process. So far, I have been concentrating on the process-structure-properties relationships in metal additive manufacturing, with the focus on modeling the microstructure evolution, and the mechanical behaviour of metals and alloys under loading, including surface roughening phenomenon in advanced structural materials as well as deformation and fracture of friction stir welded joints. I am excited about developing the knowledge-based capacity enabling the prediction of microstructure and mechanical properties with the aim to establish a means to engineer additively manufactured alloys for specific needs.
