Xiaobo Ren

As a Senior Research Scientist, I bridge modelling, materials science, and structural integrity by linking processing, microstructure, properties, and performance through digital workflows. I integrate insights across disciplines, turning complex material behaviour into clear, actionable understanding. Beyond technical expertise, I contribute as a capability builder and strategic collaborator, supporting digitalization and cross-functional innovation.

Education

2010, PhD, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway

Competence and research areas

I work across materials processing, microstructure modelling, material properties, and structural integrity, using digital workflows to connect them. My expertise combines welding, residual stresses, fracture mechanics, and microstructure evolution, including recycled metals. I develop Digital Material Processing methods that predict how processing influences material behaviour and performance.
