Chuanjie Cui

Chuanjie Cui is a Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Mechanics of Materials Lab at the University of Oxford, led by Prof. Emilio Martínez-Pañeda. His research focuses on understanding the degradation of metallic materials to support a net-zero carbon society and assist in human healthcare. Specifically, he aims to develop models for stress corrosion cracking and corrosion fatigue to ensure the safety and durability of infrastructures, predict fracture and fatigue of high-strength steels in hydrogen-rich environments, and design biodegradable materials via virtual experiments for medical applications. His work has been featured in leading journals such as the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids.

Chuanjie Cui is a researcher at the University of Oxford with expertise in phase field modeling, hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion, and PINNs. Their work focuses on developing advanced computational models to study dissolution-driven stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement in materials. Cui's research integrates physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) with phase field equations to simulate complex corrosion processes, such as pitting corrosion and crevice corrosion. They also investigate the electro-chemo-mechanical interactions in localized corrosion and the impact of environmental factors on material degradation. Additionally, Cui explores structural performance under extreme conditions, including fire accidents and vehicle-induced loads, contributing to the understanding of corrosion mechanisms and material failure.
