About Hua

Dr Men joined BCAST in 2007. He obtained MSci degree in Materials Science from Northeast University, China in 1999, and PhD in Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academe of Science, China in 2002. His PhD thesis focused on formation and mechanical properties of bulk metallic glasses. Following his PhD, he worked as a Postdoctorate at Yonsei University, Korea and as a lecturer at Beijing University of Astronautics and Aeronautics, China. 

His current research at BCAST focuses on simulation of solidification, structural transition of liquid metals under dynamic conditions and rheology of liquid metals. 

Recent current research interests:

1. The theoretical study of the segregation of solute elements at the liquid/hetero-phase interfaces in the alloy melts;

2. Numerical and analytical studies on the effects of local recalescence during solidification of a melt on grain size;

3. Atomistic study of the effect of lattice mismatch on nucleation of liquid Al in contact with hetero-phase substrates.
