معرفی
Dr Dongbin Wei is an Associate Professor at the School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), with a career spanning academia and industry. He holds a PhD in Materials Processing Engineering from the University of Science and Technology Beijing (2001) and academic appointments from 2005–2012 at the University of Wollongong (Research Fellow to Lecturer) and 2013–2017 at UTS (Senior Lecturer) before his promotion to Associate Professor in 2018.
His research lies at the intersection of Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Materials Processing, focusing on:
- Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (UAM)
- Micro Metal Forming and Size Effects
- Tribology and Lubrication
- Numerical Simulations of Material Processing
- Composite Material Fabrication
Key contributions include:
- Development of the Springback Path–Displacement Adjustment (SP-DA) method for stamping accuracy
- Advancements in femtosecond laser texturing for silicon wettability control
- Studies on nanolubrication in hot rolling
- Optimization of micro-deep drawing parameters
He has secured competitive grants from the Australian Research Council (ARC) and industry partners like Weir Minerals Australia Ltd, including projects on:
- Revolutionizing mineral separation via additive manufacturing
- Super high-speed grinding technologies
- Mechanics of micro composite drill fabrication
As a lead supervisor, he guided the 2022 thesis 'Creation and Validation of 3D Printable Mineral Separation Spiral'. His work bridges theoretical analysis, computational modeling (FEM/FEA), and practical validation in advanced manufacturing systems.
