Dr. Chunliang Yang, Humboldt-Fellow im Fachbereich Schweisstechnische Fertigungsverfahren
Chunliang, please tell us a little bit about yourself. What did you do before you came to BAM?
I'm Chunliang Yang from China, and now I'm working on my Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers in BAM. Before coming to BAM, I got my doctorate degree in China, which was a project about friction stir welding.
You received a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers and chose BAM’s Welding Technology Division as your host – why?
The Welding Technology Division of BAM has been communicating with my doctoral group for more than ten years, which is also in line with Humboldt's purpose: to promote communication between scholars outside Germany and institutions in Germany.
What is your research about, and what excites you most about this topic?
My research project is about the phase field simulation of microstructure evolution in magnetic field-assisted laser beam welding. Magnetic field-assisted laser welding is a process of great engineering value developed by BAM Welding Technology Division, and the research on multi-scale calculation is part of my doctoral project. This project perfectly continues part of my doctoral project and can promote the mechanism research of existing technology in BAM to multi-scale. We believe the project can be of guiding significance to the wide application of magnetic field laser welding technology.
What do you particularly like about your research work at BAM?
The research atmosphere of BAM is very interactive. You can participate in reports and discussions of other departments, and you can easily cooperate with people from other departments. That makes different viewpoints collide with each other and produce more new ideas.
