Prior to joining ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´ University, Dr. Huang accumulated over 10 years of industrial experience in aerospace material and manufacturing development, electronics manufacturing, as well as production and resource planning. In the past 19 years at ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´, Dr. Huang has leveraged her knowledge and experience in aerospace materials and associated manufacturing processes to establish a world class research in advanced Gas Turbine materials and manufacturing process development. As of 2020, she has attracted over $3M research funding (from CFI , NSERC, CARIC, OCE, CNL, NRC, NRCan, PWC, Kennametal, LTS, Orenda Aerospace, Royal Canadian Mint and many SMEs), trained over 30 Masters, 8 PhDs, 4 PDFs and over 20 summer researchers. Along with her research group, Dr. Huang has published over 200 peer reviewed full-length journals and conference papers, as well as a book on Superalloys. In addition, she holds two USPTO patents and has been an invited speaker at 16 different events. Her current research spans from metal additive manufacturing, welding and rejuvenation of gas turbine components, to polymer and ceramic based composite material design and new superalloy/coating development. Outside of ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´, Dr. Huang consults for various industrial partners and federal agencies (National Research Council of Canada, Natural Resources of Canada, Environmental Canada and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories) by providing expert opinions and detailed reviews on immerging technologies.
