Researcher

Youxiang Chew has over nine years of experience in Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) technology, focusing on processes, residual stress modelling and the integration of machine learning to optimise laser deposition toolpaths. Chew’s other research interests include developing high entropy alloys and bulk spatially patterned heterostructured multimaterials parts using LDED. Beyond the LDED process, Chew is now looking into new process innovation by combining different advanced manufacturing processes for multimaterial processing. The group is also exploring hybrid DED processes and new friction stir processing for repair and remanufacturing, aiming to streamline the manufacturing of high value components.
