Personal profile

Dr Tianhong Gu is presently an Assistant Professor in Materials Science and Engineering, the Department of Civil Engineering at Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU). Previously she pursued material research in the UK as a Research Associate at Imperial College London and a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham, with a focus on material microstructure control design, in-situ micromechanical testing microstructural characterisation and materials modelling to develop cross-disciplinary solutions for the next generation high-performance and substantial-reliability engineering materials in aerospace, automotive, electronics and nuclear applications. She is a specialist in understanding micromechanical deformation and microstructure, as well as in-situ microscope methods and analysis. Dr Gu graduated with a MPhil in Materials Science and Metallurgy from the University of Cambridge and obtained a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Imperial College London.

Please get in touch if your research interests align with materials engineering, materials characterisation and modelling. I accept applications from PhD students. For further details about PhD opportunities, please contact me.
