Shunyu Liu joined the Department of Automotive Engineering as an Assistant Professor at CU-ICAR in January 2021. She received her Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University-West Lafayette Campus in 2020, M.S. in Materials Science, and B.E. in Materials Science and Engineering from North China Electric Power University in 2015 and 2012, respectively.
Liu’s research focuses on additive manufacturing, hybrid manufacturing, and laser processing of high-performance metallic materials, including synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing. She works on a wide range of metallic materials, including high-entropy alloys, bulk metallic glasses, metal matrix composites, functionally graded materials, porous materials, magnets, and various alloys, focusing on the mechanical properties, high-temperature performance, wear, corrosion, erosion, and magnetic properties of these materials. In addition, her research interests also include multiphysics and multiscale microstructure modeling of solidification and phase transformations during various manufacturing processes, using phase-field, cellular automata, and novel hybrid models. Through a strong interdisciplinary knowledge of materials science, engineering, and applied science, Liu’s research focuses on the discovery, synthesis, and manufacturing of advanced materials, along with systematic guidance from theoretical modeling.
