This book contains the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Advanced Materials and Engineering Materials (ICAMEM 2024), which was held in Dubai, UAE, from December 16 to 18, 2024. Over the past 12 years, ICAMEM has established itself as a leading platform for sharing current and emerging materials and devices research.

The conference program for the year includes a diverse range of sessions, featuring Plenary, Keynote, Invited, and Oral presentations. Esteemed speakers, including Prof. Weimin Huang from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore; Prof. Katsuyuki Kida from University of Toyama, Japan; Prof. Ali Reza Kamali from Northeastern University, China; Prof. Laichang Zhang from School of Engineering, Edith Cowan University, Perth, Australia delivered keynote addresses. Dr. Hamid Pourasiab from The University of Queensland, Australia; Dr. Parvez Alam from The University of Edinburgh, UK presented invited talks.

ICAMEM 2024 provides an attractive forum for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to present their latest advancements in materials research and development. This book serves as a comprehensive overview of the conference, offering valuable insights into the state and future directions of the field.

In summary, this book is an indispensable resource for those seeking to stay informed about the latest research and developments in advanced materials and engineering materials, as showcased at ICAMEM 2024.

Autorentext

Professor Laichang Zhang is a professor of Materials Engineering, the Program Leader, and the Head of the Centre for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing in the School of Engineering at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Engineering from the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Prior to joining Edith Cowan University, he worked at Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany (2005-2006), the Leibniz-Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW) in Dresden, Germany (2006-2007), the University of Wollongong in Wollongong, Australia (2007-2009), and The University of Western Australia in Perth, Australia (2009-2012).

His research interests include metal additive manufacturing, metallic biomaterials, lightweight alloys and structures, and high-strength alloys and composites. He has considerable expertise and extensive cross-disciplinary research activities in the advanced manufacturing of different types of materials, including nanocrystalline/ultrafine-grained materials, bulk metallic glasses, biomaterials, and high-strength steels, focusing on the understanding of their processing, microstructure, and properties (e.g., mechanical properties, fatigue properties, corrosion behavior, and catalytic performance). He also served as an editor or editorial board member for more than ten journals.
