Evgenia Yakushina

Dr Evgenia Yakushina is a Senior Knowledge Exchange Fellow, CEngD, Forming Team Leader. She has an extensive knowledge in forging and forming processes. She is closely working with OEMs and Tier 1 partners for more than 11 years concentrating on the light-weighting strategy in the recent years.

Her PhD investigation was devoted to developing of forging regimes in conjunction with heat treatment. Dr Yakushina also conducted extensive research in deformation process optimisation for estimation of optimal combination of ECAP, extrusion, drawing and subsequent thermo-mechanical treatment. Dr Yakushina has got acquired experience in material science/microstructure and multi-year experience in investigation of physics of creep flow and superplasticity, diffusion and phase change in solid-state body.She has a broad experience in various thermo-mechanical processes related to forming of advanced materials for aerospace and automotive industries. She has authored and co-authored 18 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and international conferences (H-index:9, 300+citations).
