Prof. Pengfei Zheng is an associate researcher at the Southwestern Institute of Physics. In 2005, he graduated from the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Huazhong University of Science and Technology with a double bachelor's degree in engineering. In 2008, he graduated from the Southwestern Institute of Physics of the Nuclear Industry with a master's degree in engineering. In 2009, he went to Japan to study at the Graduate Institute of Advanced Studies and conducted research and study at the Institute of Nuclear Fusion Science. In 2012, he graduated from the Graduate School of Physical Sciences of the same university with a doctorate in engineering. In the same year, he returned to the institute to work on the development of structural materials, comprehensive testing and microstructure analyses, and the development of small sample technologies related to material irradiation. Since 2014, he has expanded his research work on the interaction between plasma and materials. His research directions are structural materials for fusion reactors; the interaction between plasma and materials; and the development of test equipment.
