Prof. Sichen Du

Professor

Got PhD 1989 at KTH and became full professor 2001. Enjoy working with students and happy to see their development. Leading a good research group makes life meaningful. Students in the group do not feel too easy; but they are happy.

While he emphasizes strongly the importance of experimental studies, he also realizes the power of mathematical modeling. Before 2000, his research activities focused mainly on the studies of thermodynamics, kinetics, thermophysical properties and CFD modeling for metallurgical and materials processes. The research experience in the broad areas has prepared him for doing high standard industrial research. Having the ambition of bridging the gap between fundamental research and process application, a great part of this research work is directed to the topics relevant to metallurgical and materials processes. In the last 12 years, he has been working closely with the steel industries, solving practical problems, developing process models and carrying out long term industrial research programs in the area of steel making, especially clean steel.
