Biography

Christopher Hulme is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research primarily focuses on Powder Metallurgy and Rapid Solidification, with particular interest in the physical mechanisms involved in metal powder atomization and the break-up of fluid droplets during the solidification of molten metal into particles. He investigates the link between atomizing conditions and the properties of powders, examining how microscopic characteristics such as particle size and shape influence their bulk properties like flowability and density. His work includes the investigation of phenomena related to atomization and employs various modeling techniques, including computational fluid dynamics and stochastic numerical modeling. Christopher is also dedicated to teaching and public engagement, using innovative teaching methods to enhance student interaction, and emphasizes the integration of sustainability and equality issues into the coursework for future metallurgists, scientists, and engineers.
