Dr. Adrian Wei-Yee Tan

Dr. Adrian Wei-Yee Tan Dr Tan is an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Southampton Malaysia (UoSM). He received his BEng (Mechanical Engineering), MSc (Precision Engineering), and Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, in 2012, 2014, and 2019, respectively. Before joining USoM, Dr. Tan worked as a Research Associate (2014 to 2019) and Research Scientist (2019 to 2020) for the Cold Spray project (coating/additive manufacturing technology) at Rolls-Royce@NTU Corporate Lab, Singapore. As the project lead and pioneer member, he managed the project and led the technology development of the cold spray process to produce dense coatings or deposits for surface repair or protection of aerospace components. He has researched different kinds of deposited materials (via cold spray), such as titanium, Inconel, cobalt-chromium, copper, aluminium, and various types of metallic composites. His current research interests are in metal additive manufacturing, thermal spray, metallic and composite coatings, and microstructure/mechanical analysis of materials. He is also a reviewer for the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology, Surface and Coatings Technology, Materials and Manufacturing Processes, Additive Manufacturing, Coatings, Materials and Design, Applied Materials Today, and others.
