Professor Zhang's research spans multiple cutting-edge areas in materials science. He is particularly renowned for his work in crystallography of phase transformations and its applications in engineering materials. His expertise extends to additive manufacturing of metals, high entropy alloys, new alloy design through machine learning, surface engineering of metals, and grain refinement for cast metals. His fundamental research aims to develop new generation metallic materials and improve current materials processing techniques, with significant implications for enhancing Australia's competitive ability in international markets in light metals.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on additive manufacturing technologies, particularly in metals and ceramics. There's a clear trend toward integrating machine learning approaches with traditional materials science to optimize alloy design and manufacturing processes. His work also shows increasing attention to hydrogen embrittlement issues in additively manufactured metals, which is critical for structural applications.
Professor Zhang has supervised numerous research students and collaborated extensively with international researchers across multiple institutions. His laboratory likely focuses on advanced materials processing, additive manufacturing technologies, and crystallographic analysis of phase transformations.
