內(nèi)容摘要：
At this graduation ceremony, I’d like to talk about how to find the fundamental and impactful problems in a research field and how to solve them. I hope this might provide some helps to the graduating students no matter if you are going to continue your research career in a university, research labs or industries. The discussion will be enlivened with real research scenarios and examples. I’d also give a brief introduction to an emerging and fast developing field on Heterostructured Materials (異構(gòu)材料), which is quickly becoming a hot materials field. Heterostructured (HS) materials are found to possess unprecedented strength and ductility that are not accessible to their homogeneous counterparts. These superior mechanical properties are often not explainable using our textbook knowledge. The biggest advantage of HS materials is their production using current industrial facilities at low cost, which paves the way for their large-scale commercial applications.
主講人介紹：
Chair Professor, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China
Yuntian Zhu joined the City University of Hong Kong in 2020 as a Chair Professor, before which he was a Distinguished Professor in North Carolina State University, where he worked from 2007 to 2020. He worked as a postdoc, staff member and team leader in Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) until 2007 after obtaining his Ph.D. degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994. In recent years he has focused on the deformation mechanisms at dislocation level and mechanical behaviors of heterostructured materials and nano/ultrafine-grained materials. He is an experimentalist with a primary interest in fundamental aspects of materials research and also in designing materials with superior strength and ductility. He and his colleagues are pioneers of the emerging field of heterostructured materials. He recently received the Institute of Metals Lecture and Robert Franklin Mehl Award , ASM International Albert Sauveur Award, IUMRS S?miya Award, TMS SMD Distinguished Scientist/Engineer Award, and TMS Leadership Award. He has been elected to the Academia Europaea, European Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Inventors (US), as well as Fellows of five academic societies: TMS, MRS, APS, ASM, and AAAS.
