معرفی
Dr. Tan Sui is an Associate Professor (Reader) in Materials Engineering at the University of Surrey's School of Mechanical Engineering Sciences. She holds a Royal Academy of Engineering Industrial Fellowship and a visiting role at the National Physical Laboratory, UK. As a Chartered Scientist (CSci) and Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM) and the Women’s Engineering Society (FWES), she specializes in structural integrity of advanced materials for nuclear fusion and bioinspired systems. Her research focuses on microstructure-residual stress links, using synchrotron X-ray, neutron techniques, and machine learning.
Her roles include Deputy Head of the Centre for Engineering Materials and Senate Academic Representative. She has secured over 20 grants, including EPSRC, Henry Royce Institute, and ICURe funding. Supervising 14 PhD students and 3 Research Fellows, her work spans bioinspired dental composites, fusion alloy welds, and battery diagnostics. Key collaborations involve CCFE/UKAEA, Diamond Light Source, and industry partners.
Awards include the EPSRC-WES Awardee and multiple innovation grants. Her labs focus on advanced microscopy (in-SEM nanoindentation, correlative imaging) and commercialization of materials for energy and biomedical applications. Research outputs address nuclear reactor lifespan extension and sustainable biomaterials.
