Professor Qian Ma RMIT University Distinguished Keynote Speaker, ICAN 2027

Professor Qian Ma is a Professor at RMIT University with expertise in advanced metallic materials, powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing. His research is relevant to ICAN 2027 through its focus on processing, microstructure and performance in engineered materials for demanding applications. Although centred on metallic systems, his work provides important insights into manufacturing science, interfacial control and structure-property relationships that are also central to composite and nanocomposite materials. His contributions support ICAN 2027 themes in advanced manufacturing, materials design, lightweight structures and the translation of materials research into high-performance engineering technologies.
