About
Dennis Cheng Cheh Tan is a leading researcher in the field of advanced materials processing and surface engineering, with a primary focus on the mechanical behavior of metallic alloys under extreme conditions. His work centers on understanding how high-energy mechanical and thermal treatments, such as robotic hammer peening and laser-shock processing, influence microstructural evolution and material performance. Tan’s major contributions include elucidating the mechanisms of dislocation slip traces and crystallographic reorientations in Ni-based single-crystal superalloys, which are critical for aerospace turbine blade durability. He has also pioneered studies on phase transformations and micro-spallation in stainless steels, revealing how stacking fault energy governs deformation pathways during high-strain-rate events. With each of his most-cited papers garnering 23 citations, his research is recognized for bridging fundamental materials science with practical engineering applications. Tan’s work is particularly notable for its impact on improving fatigue life and structural integrity in high-performance alloys, making him a key figure in the development of next-generation surface strengthening technologies for demanding industrial environments.
