Qiyang Tan

Qiyang Tan is a Research Fellow at the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering, The University of Queensland, with affiliations to the Centre for Advanced Materials Processing and Manufacturing (AMPAM). His research focuses on additive manufacturing of metals and MAX phases, high-temperature oxidation, alloy development, grain refinement, and machine learning applications in materials science.

• Education: PhD (The University of Queensland, 2018), Bachelor of Materials Science and Engineering (South China University of Technology, 2014)

Dr. Tan’s research expertise includes proposing the Oxide Reinforcement Model to understand metal oxidation resistance and applying the E2EM crystallographic model to identify new grain refiners for additively manufactured materials. His work spans Al, Ti, Cu alloys, steels, and γ-TiAl intermetallic alloys, aiming to improve processability in additive manufacturing for advanced ceramics and metallic-ceramic composites.

His 15 most recent publications highlight trends in additive manufacturing, grain refinement, hydrogen embrittlement, and machine learning in alloy design, with applications in high-strength alloys, ceramics, and extreme environment materials.

Dr. Tan is available for supervision and has secured funding from organizations such as the Australian Research Council (ARC), Baosteel-Australia Joint Research and Development, and HBIS Group Co, Ltd.
