Biography
Dr Xu received Ph.D. degree in Materials Science in 2004 from the National University of Singapore. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Engineering at Macquarie University. Prior to this role, Dr Xu had been working as a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Additive Manufacturing in RMIT University, leading the program of Additive Manufacturing of Ti alloys, a Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany) and a Research Fellow at the Data Storage Institute in Singapore. Dr Xu is also an Honorary Principal Research Fellow at RMIT University and an Honorary Senior Fellow at the University of Melbourne. His research expertise includes 3D printing/additive manufacturing of titanium alloys for advanced structural applications including orthopaedic implants; low modulus biocompatible beta-type titanium alloys; design and development of nanostrucutred metallic alloys and composites; solidification and solidi-state phase transformation of metallic materials.
