Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Manitoba
$120,000.00
Mechanical And Functional Design Of Nanostructured Materials
FY 2021-22
Summary
Dr. Guo-zhen Zhu will develop a research program focused on the characterization and design of nanostructured materials. Her work will include the development of new methods for characterizing materials at the atomic scale. Her research will lead to the development of advanced alloys and metal oxides that have vastly superior physical and mechanical properties when compared with current state-of-the-art materials used in industry. These novel materials will ultimately provide a competitive advantage to Canadian companies in the aerospace, automotive and energy sectors.
