Biography

Christopher Hulme is an Associate Professor at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. His research focuses on Powder Metallurgy and Rapid Solidification, investigating the physical mechanisms involved in metal powder atomization and the breakup of fluid droplets during solidification. He examines the relationships between atomizing conditions and the properties of the produced powder, including microscopic properties, particle size, shape, bulk properties, flowability, and density. His work includes modeling techniques such as computational fluid dynamics, stochastic numerical modeling, and thermodynamic modeling, validated through experimental techniques like shadowgraphy and metallography. Christopher is also committed to teaching and public engagement, actively incorporating sustainability and equality issues into his courses, which cover topics such as Additive Manufacturing and Material Processes.
