More than 300 papers on:

·       Advanced manufacturing processes: welding, brazing, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, laser-assisted manufacturing …

·       Materials: steels, light alloys (Al & Ti), ultralight Mg alloys, and metal matrix composites.

·       Properties of materials: fracture, fatigue, wear, creep and corrosion.

Most of the papers are SCI-indexed and can be found from the following links:

Publons or Web of Science ResearcherID Website

ResearchGate Website

ORCiD Website

Google Scholar Website    >6000 citations, H-index = 35

Notes for Potential PhD Students and Visiting Scholars: 

(1)  PhD scholarship is rarely available. Among the current PhD students in my group, only one is on scholarship and all others are self-financed.

(2)  Self-funded Visiting Scholars (including visiting PhD students under CSC scheme) are welcome. However, I have been approached by so many applicants that I have no choice but turn down many of them.

(3)  If you would like to make an inquiry, please send an email to mwzhou@ntu.edu.sg with your CV. I usually give a reply within a few days. Alternatively, you may call me using my office number or via Wechat (ID: weizhou91169706).
