Yun-Fei
Yun-Fei completed his Ph.D. (5 October, 2021) in Engineering at Deakin University, Australia specializing in Topology Optimization, Composite Materials, and Additive Manufacturing. He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Alberta, where he focuses on the simulation of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process.
Research Summary
Additive Manufacturing, Topology Optimization, Composite Materials
My research focuses on the topology optimization algorithm named SEMDOT and the optimization of metal and fiber-reinforced composite structures, with an emphasis on designing lightweight, high-performance components for additive manufacturing. I investigate the failure behavior and optimization of fiber-reinforced composites, exploring how material properties influence topology-optimized structures. Additionally, I study the additive manufacturing processes of metal and fiber-reinforced composites, particularly addressing the manufacturability challenges of complex, topology-optimized geometries.
