André Phillion is a Professor and ArcelorMittal Dofasco Endowed Chair in Ferrous Metallurgy in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at McMaster University, Canada. His research focuses on developing mechanistic understanding of microstructure–process–property relationships in metallic materials. His core expertise is in industrial solidification and transport phenomena, with applications spanning steelmaking and continuous casting to metal additive manufacturing. His work makes extensive use of advanced and correlative materials characterization techniques, including in-situ high-temperature confocal microscopy and multi-modal 3D X-ray tomography, to study microstructural evolution, defects, and phase transformations under realistic processing conditions. He is actively engaged with the international materials science community through collaborations with academic groups, national laboratories, and industry, and through leadership roles on technical and research-review committees. His work spans multiple material systems and length scales, providing broad perspective across experimental, modeling, and applied materials research.
