Metastability Engineering in Titanium Alloys Enables Advanced Structural/Functional Properties

Yu Fu received his B.E. degree at the School of Materials Science and Engineering from Sichuan University, China, in 2017. He is now a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Beihang University, China, under the supervision of Prof. Xinqing Zhao and Prof. Wenlong Xiao. His current research mainly focuses on the microstructure evolution and associated structural/functional properties of titanium alloys.

Wenlong Xiao is an Associate Professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beihang University, China, since 2013. He received his Ph.D. degree in materials science from Jilin University, China, in 2010. Afterward, he spent one year as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Queensland, Australia, and then he engaged in another postdoctoral research at Japan National Institute of Materials (NIMS) for two years. Currently, his research interests are mainly focused on the design and processing technology of lightweight and high-strength metallic alloys for structural and functional applications. As the first author or corresponding author, Dr. Wenlong Xiao has published more than 100 peer-reviewed research papers including Acta Mater. and Scr. Mater.
