Contact Dr Jun Wang
Background
Dr Jun Wang is currently a lecturer in materials science of Additive Manufacturing at the Welding and Additive Manufacturing Centre at Cranfield University. She is also leading and coordinating the heavy structural materials research team and activities within the Welding and additive manufacturing centre. Dr Wang got her PhD degree in in-situ wire-direct energy deposition additive manufacturing from the University of Wollongong in 2020. Then She worked as an associate research fellow there from 2020 to 2021. After that, Dr Wang joined Cranfield University as a reseach fellow in additive manufacturing in late 2021. Jun's research is mainly focusing on process, material science and performance of additive manufacturing, aiming to broaden the applicability and potential of w-DEDAM technologies, opening new avenues for its application across diverse industries.
