Yu Dong

About

Dr Yu Dong completed both the ME degree with First Class Honours and the PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Auckland, New Zealand before joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Curtin University, Australia as a lecturer in July 2008. He was then promoted to Senior Lecturer in January 2012 due to his outstanding research and teaching performance. He is currently Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering, School of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Curtin University. His research interests include processing and material characterisation of polymer nanocomposites, object-oriented finite element (OOF) analysis based on mapping the real morphological structures, multiscale micromechanical modelling with representative volume element (RVE), polymeric process modelling, and statistical design of experiments (DoE).
