• Three-dimensional FE analysis for rolling and extrusion
• Microstructure control of product by hot forming using numerical analysis • Semi-solid forming of non-ferrous alloys and ferrous alloys
• Measurement of flow stress and microstructure evolution at elevated temperature
• Physical and numerical simulation of heavy-reduction rolling to manufacture ultrafine-grained steels
• Novel sheet forming for the manufacturing light-weight construction
• Forming and joining of non-metallic sheets

2. Rolling control system with microstructure analysis, Metal Matrix Composite electric wire and Stamping of stainless sheet for heat exchanger
I am convinced that university-industry collaboration, which originates from the proposals and idea from the universities, is indispensable at chairs and laboratories in engineering schools and institutes. I will summarize our three latest collaborative investigations with industries which are published in the regular articles: Rolling control system and strategy in 2014, Metal Matrix Composite electric wire in 2015 and Stamping of stainless sheet for small heat exchanger in 2016.
