Summary
Jun Ou is a materials and mechanical engineering leader with 12 years of experience bridging academic research and industry, currently serving as General Manager & Business Partner while holding a strong background as a Research Associate at UBC focused on die casting of aluminum automotive parts. He specializes in melt processing, casting, heat treatment, and process optimization, with deep expertise in computational modeling and CAE tools (ProCAST, ANSYS CFX, ABAQUS, Fluent) used to improve microstructure and part performance. Jun has led teams and administered HPC resources to develop coupled thermal-stress and spray-cooling models for permanent die casting, translating simulation insights into plant process improvements. He has academic experience as an assistant professor and course developer, teaching advanced simulation and transport phenomena, and a track record of designing automated experimental mechanisms and DAQ systems. Bilingual and culturally adaptable, he combines hands-on mechanical design skills with materials characterization and failure analysis, bringing both research rigor and practical manufacturing impact. An unexpected strength is his blend of classroom teaching and industrial project management, enabling him to effectively communicate complex simulation results to engineers and stakeholders.
