The background of Prof. Orlov is in the engineering of thermo-mechanical processing technologies for metallic materials fabrication with a core expertise in the design of deformation processing based techniques.

    The primary scope of his group within LTH is the engineering of novel materials with hierarchical structures architected from atomic- through to macro-scales. His present research interests and ongoing research projects are focused on the design of Mg alloys for biomedical and light-weight mobility applications, multi-scale architected structures with topological control of their heterogeneity, and the development of relevant characterisation techniques including electron microscopy and in situ methods at laboratory- and large- scale research facilities.
