IAMS opened in 1999 by Prof. Yaohe ZHOU, owns 15 stuffs, including 1 academician of CAS, 1 winner of China National Funds for Distiguished Young Scientist, 3 full professors, 7 associate professors and 4 lectures. IAMS dedicates in both fundamental research of solidification behavior of advanced materials and technical development of advanced solidification methods. The institute is capable of performing profound solidification investigations and materials characterization. She cooperates with famous groups in the field and top class characterization team such as the teams of Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The funding sources of IAMS include MOST, NSFC of China and a few famous enterprises. Her theoretical work on non-equilibrium solidification, the control of solidification structure, magnetostrictive materials and amorphous alloys are quite pioneer in the field, which are leading to more than 300 publications on a series high impact journals as Acta Materialia, Applied Physics Letters and so on. One graduated students won nominated National Prize for Doctorial Dissertation, 3 won Shanghai Prize.
