Nominator's project description

Professor Gu is well known internationally for his outstanding innovative research in laser additive manufacturing of high-performance metallic parts. He has made important contributions to the establishment of a comprehensive material–structure–process–performance integration theory to enable the successful additive manufacturing production. His interdisciplinary fundamental research has significantly promoted the technological progress in the field. In Germany he will focus on a new research direction on “laser additive manufacturing of novel-structured, multi-material and multi-function metallic parts”.
