RANMING NIU
Postdoctoral Research Associate
The University of Sydney
Expertise:
In-situ electron microscopy, multiscale mechanics, Atom Probe Tomography, advanced materials characterisation
Research interests:
Mechanical behaviours, microstructures, metal and alloys, hydrogen embrittlement.
"I use advanced microscopy to study materials science. My research targets time-resolved deformation behaviours of materials at multiple scales, ranging from nano to macro levels. I study how and why materials respond to external loadings using advanced in-situ electron microscopy. Building the relationship between mechanical property and microstructure is of key interest to my research. I endeavour to use advanced in-situ microscopy to solve practical engineering problems in structural materials."
