Dr Lei (Frank) Zhou
Frank is a Senior Research Fellow at WMG, University of Warwick.
Frank's areas of expertise are metallurgy and material science of Steel, Electromagnetic, finite element modelling and non-destructive testing. Frank has worked on EM sensor-related research projects for steel microstructure characterisation for over ten years.
Frank now works on Theme 4 New Processes for New Products, task 8 – "Smart sensors for real-time measurement: Electromagnetic sensors", within the SUSTAIN project. The project is focusing on the development of new EM sensors and signal-microstructure relationships for use in steel processing. The improved monitoring of steel production allows for greater digitalisation and control, leading to more efficient, less energy-intensive manufacturing.
