Introduction

I am working as an Associate Professor at School of Materials Science & Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China). I have published over 90 peer-viewed papers in the scientific journals (i.e., International Journal of Plasticity, Scripta Materialia, Materials Research Letters, Materials Science & Engineering A, and etc). I am the first or (Co-)corresponding author for over 70 among these papers. These papers have been cited over 2100 times, and my H index is 25 (Google Scholar).

Meanwhile, I serve as a youth editor for <Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (English Edition)> and <Materials Research Letters>

Research Interests

My research interests include the design, processing (i.e., Casting, Additive Manufacturing, forging, extrusion, and etc.), microstructures, and mechanical properties of metallic materials (i.e., Al alloys / composites, and medium / high entropy alloys).
