Dr. Yuefan Wei received her Ph.D from Nanyang Technological University, and continued her research career afterwards. In 2019, Dr. Wei joined the Department of Data-driven Surface Enhancement in Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre, A*STAR, as an advanced development scientist. Her research interests focus on surface engineering, materials and mechanical characterisation, corrosion behaviors of metal alloys, and electronics and devices for energy applications. To date, she has published more than 30 articles in academic and trade journals. Dr. Wei has taken lead in diverse projects to deliver innovative research and development solutions with activate collaborations with universities, research institutes, and industry partners. She is spearheading developing advanced non-destructive techniques for application in monitoring, evaluation and prediction of surface integrity.Dr. Shuyun Chng received her D.Phil in Chemistry from the University of Oxford. She then joined the Surface Technology Group at the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology, an A*STAR research entity as a scientist. She then led her group as a deputy group manager, where she is oversees the charting of research directions in functional coatings and surface modifications in the group. Her research interests include antimicrobial coatings, surface chemistry and modifications. Dr. Chng has initiated and driven translational projects to bring different innovations from the lab to industries, through establishing the relevant supply chains and ecosystems for the technologies licensed. Beyond surface technologies, she is now looking to expand the application of surface chemistry and modification into the domain of sustainability and circular economy.
