​Award of A*STAR AME Programmatic Grant - Associate Professor Raju V. Ramanujan and Assistant Professor Martial Duchamp

​We are pleased to share that Associate Professor Raju V. Ramanujan has been awarded the RIE2020 Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME) Programmatic Grant – Structural Metal Alloys Programme (SMAP). Associate Professor Ramanujan is the Principal Investigator (PI) along with Assistant Professor Martial Duchamp (co-PI). The project is entitled ‘Study of length scale effects and interfaces on mechanical properties’.
 
This project aims to model alloy properties of industrial interest over a range of length scales (multiscale modeling) and compare the predictions from modeling to experimental results. A fundamental understanding of plasticity mechanisms by experimental techniques and multiscale modeling will be gained through this endeavour. 
 
About the grant
Programmatic initiatives aim for future industry readiness and support the development of new and emerging capabilities for adoption in industry. Aimed at developing capabilities relevant to existing industrial sectors or seed new growth sectors through building scientific peaks of excellence, the AME Programmatic Grants are typically driven by a multidisciplinary team comprising public sector research performers from across the local research ecosystem.
 
Our heartiest congratulations to both professors on their excellent achievement!
