Research summary

Tianyi Sun's bibliographic record centers on the study of metal alloys used in demanding environments, particularly how their microscopic structure affects mechanical strength, radiation resistance, and high-temperature performance. Much of the work examines materials like FeCrAl and nickel alloys under conditions relevant to nuclear reactors and additive manufacturing (3D printing of metals), using techniques such as in-situ electron microscopy and ion irradiation experiments. Note that the publication list also includes several titles on unrelated topics (e.g., medical imaging, biosensors, agronomy), which likely reflect shared author names rather than this researcher's actual body of work.

Publication output was minimal or absent in the mid-2010s, rose sharply around 2022, and has continued at a moderate, fairly steady pace since then.
