Jiawei Mi

Professor Jiawei Mi is a leading academic in materials science at the University of Hull, serving as the academic lead for the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing research theme in the School of Engineering. He specializes in advanced metallic alloys, composites, and solidification technologies. His research leverages synchrotron X-ray and neutron beam studies, alongside phase field modeling and finite element methods. Over 30 years, he has secured ~£10 million in grants and pioneered over 115 synchrotron/beam experiments. Notable awards include a Royal Society Industry Fellowship (2012-2016) and EPSRC Peer Review recognitions (2016-2018). His work spans alloy design, materials characterization, and scalable manufacturing techniques like ultrasonic processing. Current projects include developing cloud-based simulation systems and hydrogen production technologies. He supervises ~15 PhD students annually, with a focus on phase field modeling, ultrasound-based methods, and in-situ material studies.

Research interests include: design of advanced alloys, ultrasound/magnetic field solidification, in-situ atomic structure analysis, and computational modeling. His articles emphasize dynamic material behavior under external fields and additive manufacturing innovations. Over 120 papers and a technical book on solidification under external fields highlight his contributions. He advises on EPSRC panels and has mentored global researchers at institutions like Tsinghua University and the Harbin Institute of Technology.
