Edward Lui

Dr. Edward Lui is a Research Fellow at the School of Engineering, RMIT University. His research focuses on advanced materials engineering, particularly in additive manufacturing of titanium alloys, microstructure control, and enhancing material properties. He has contributed to studies on Ti-6Al-4V alloys, deformation mechanisms, and ballistics performance optimization. His work bridges metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and biomedical applications.

Key research interests include additive manufacturing processes (e.g., laser powder-bed fusion), microstructure manipulation via techniques like high-intensity ultrasound, and material recycling of titanium machining chips. His studies address challenges in strength-ductility trade-offs, hot tearing susceptibility, and lamellar microstructure formation.

Collaborations have led to high-impact publications, such as grain structure control in 3D printing and deformation-free recrystallization in β-Ti alloys. His findings have been cited in over 245 studies, notably for work on grain structure control via ultrasound. He holds an ORCID identifier (0000-0002-0599-7749) and is active in peer-reviewed journals like Acta Materialia and Nature Communications.

No awards or grants are explicitly listed, but his research aligns with RMIT’s focus on sustainable manufacturing and advanced materials science. His contributions emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to enhance material performance in industrial and biomedical contexts.
