Worked as doctoral researcher at Laser and sheet process section (LAS) in The Welding Institute (TWI). The research topic is 'Experimental and Numerical Studies of Laser Riveting for Dissimilar Materials Joining' in collaboration with The TWI Ltd and NSIRC. Research aims to create a novel rivet joint for dissimilar materials by laser wire-based additive manufacturing, and joints were evaluated through mechanical and thermal analyses by experimental and numerical studies.
