Interests

Dr Haixue Yan’s research includes Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and functional materials with textured, nano- and metastable structures. I propose to undertake fundamental research on these novel functional materials and their sintering kinetics.

His current research projects including:

  • Dielectrics for high power energy storage
  • Lead-free ferroelectrics for piezoelectric sensors and actuators.
  • Ceramics with high microwave tunabiluty for wireless communications.
  • THz technology probing transitions in functional materials
  • Multiferroelectrics for computer memories.
  • Recycle Al cans for fashion products and sustainable development.

His research has been funded by EPSRC, Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering, AHRC, Innovate UK, EC and industries.
