Professor Han Huang is a world leading expert in machining, manufacturing and materials mechanics and has a wealth of experience in materials properties characterization in micro and nano scale.

He is currently leading a diverse and strong research team of 8 PhD students and 4 postdoctoral fellows; the research programmes of the team are largely concerned with manufacturing and characterization of advanced materials.

The group has recently established a new AM Laboratory, which houses a DTM2500 Plus SLS, a desktop Sharebot SLS system and a customised SLM (selective laser melting) system for studying laser melting of metal and ceramic powders. The group also has a world-class laboratory that are dedicated to materials preparation, mechanical testing and surface characterization.

Facilities

2. Polytech Laser Doppler Vibrometer (MSA-400)

Polytech Laser Doppler Vibrometer (MSA-400)The MSA-400 Micro System Analyzer is a powerful new all-in-one measurement workstation for precise 3-D dynamic characterization of MEMS and MOEMS microstructures.

It can characterize out-of-plane vibrations by scanning Laser-Doppler Vibrometry, measure in-plane motion and vibration by stroboscopic video microscopy, determine surface topography by white light interferometry, and test wafers and individual die by combining Polytec’s MSA-400 with a MEMS probe station.
