Zhehao Chen

Zhehao Chen is a Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Materials Physics, University of Helsinki, affiliated with the Doctoral Programme in Materials Research and Nanosciences. His work focuses on computational materials science, particularly defect dynamics in high entropy alloys under irradiation.

Recent projects include Eurofusion HerHEA 2024–2025, investigating radiation-resistant materials for fusion reactors. His publications in Journal of Alloys and Compounds (2025) and Physical Review Materials (2024) analyze vacancy migration in Al_xFeCoCrNi alloys and helium suppression mechanisms in 3D-printed CoCrFeMnNi systems.

Key research areas:

• High entropy alloy design
• Radiation damage modeling
• Atomic-scale defect analysis
• 3D-printing microstructure effects
• Computational simulation frameworks

Current activity: Presented findings on helium migration suppression at an oral presentation (October 2024).
