Recently, Associate Professor Zhao SHEN from the Research Team of Prof. Xiaoqin Zeng, Light Alloy Net Forming National Engineering Research Center, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was invited to serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal of High Temperature Corrosion of Materials (formerly Oxidation of Metals). Since its inception in 1969, Oxidation of Metals has focused on the oxidation behavior of metals in high-temperature environments, becoming a major platform for oxidation research in the international scientific community. As the scope of research expanded, the journal began to include not only metal oxidation but also high-temperature corrosion phenomena caused by gases, liquids, and deposits. To more clearly communicate its focus and broaden its readership and authorship, the journal underwent extensive discussions and was renamed High Temperature Corrosion of Materials in 2023, emphasizing the broad field of high-temperature materials corrosion, including metals, ceramics, composites, and coatings. The journal also plans to expand its Advisory Board membership and increase the publication of review articles, continuing to focus on high-temperature corrosion mechanisms, modes of attack, and their impact on material properties, maintaining its academic leadership in the field.

In addition, Zhao SHEN also serves as an Associate Editor for Journal of Materials Science, primarily handling submissions related to metals and corrosion. He processes more than 300 manuscripts annually. Journal of Materials Science, founded in 1966, has become one of the leading academic journals in the field of materials science. Initially focusing on the basic research of metals and ceramics, the journal has gradually expanded to cover emerging fields such as polymers, composites, functional materials, and nanomaterials, reflecting the growth of materials science.

Zhao SHEN joined the Light Alloy Net Forming National Engineering Research Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in September 2021 under the supervision of Professor Xiaoqin Zeng. In recent years, the team has conducted a series of significant fundamental and applied engineering research on stainless magnesium alloys, achieving remarkable results. Under Professor Zeng's supervision, Zhao SHEN's research primarily focuses on the high-temperature corrosion and protection of advanced nuclear materials and magnesium alloys. To date, he has been granted 12 invention patents and published over 80 SCI papers, including 54 as the first or corresponding author.
