Scholar-generated biography
Dũng (Dzung) Dinh Luong is an Industry Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at New York University, with research interests in Material Engineering and Material Characterization. His work focuses on the development and characterization of syntactic foams, including aluminum alloy/SiC hollow sphere syntactic foams, metal matrix syntactic foams, and composites such as magnesium matrix foams and polyurethane/Al2O3 hollow sphere syntactic foams. His research explores the compressive properties of these materials under quasi-static and high strain rate conditions, as well as their dynamic and thermal responses. Luong's studies also address the synthesis, microstructural evolution, and failure mechanisms of syntactic foams, with applications in marine sandwich structures and blast loading scenarios.
