Profile

Shuwen is the �鶹��Ƶ Lead of the AMRC Castings Group. Joining the AMRC in May 2022, Shuwen brought in a breadth of valuable knowledge and technological expertise from his nearly 30 years of working experience both at academic / research institutions and in industry, including metals solidification processing technologies, casting and metalforming process technologies, process modelling and simulation, manufacturing process induced residual stress prediction, characterization and control. Shuwen’s latest effort is devoted to the development of R&D portfolio for the AMRC Castings Group, primarily focusing on sustainability, digitalisation, and understanding of casting residual stress and its influence on post-cast processing and in-service performance of cast structures.

Currently Shuwen is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Engineering at Leicester University. He is also a member of the editorial board and section editorial board (Computation and Simulation on Metals) for the open access journal Metals, published monthly online by MDPI, and editor of the topic subject on “Numerical Modelling on Metallic Materials” (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/modeling_metallic).

�鶹��Ƶ interests: Innovative castings and casting process R&D
Digital and sustainable foundry solutions
Improvement of quality, property and integrity of cast structures
Melt cleanliness, castability and recyclability of metals and alloys
Foundry process LCA
Residual stress characterization and control
Numerical modelling and simulation
