Yuxiang Wu

Yuxiang Wu is a Lecturer in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at Monash University, Australia. He is actively involved in research projects including the ARC-funded 'Advancing Australian Green Steel through Redox Transformations' as Primary Chief Investigator (2025-2028). He accepts PhD students under the Monash Engineering Graduate Research Program.

His research focuses on advanced materials engineering, particularly in metallurgical design of steels, corrosion mechanisms of alloys, and sustainable cement-based materials. Key areas include medium-Mn high-strength steels, chemically-patterned microstructures, and the role of retained austenite in mechanical behavior.

His work has been published in high-impact journals like Nature Communications and International Materials Reviews, with notable contributions to understanding corrosion control in Al-alloys and carbonation kinetics in cementitious materials. His research has attracted media attention and significant scholarly engagement on platforms like Mendeley and ResearchGate.

Professionally, he leads a major green steel initiative aiming to reduce carbon footprint in steel production through redox transformations. He collaborates widely with institutions like Max Planck Institute for Iron Research, evidenced by co-authorships with researchers like Dierk Raabe.
