Dr. Hailin Yang received a BS from Hefei University of Technology in 2003 and a PhD from Central South University in 2011. He worked as a research fellow at the Brunel Centre for Advanced Solidification Technology (BCAST) at Brunel University London from 2013 to 2015. He joined the State Key Laboratory of Powder Metallurgy at Central South University (CSU) in 2010. Currently, he is a professor at CSU. He is a reviewer for journals such as Scripta Materilia, Corrosion Science, Materials Science and Engineering A, etc. His research interests include (a) the development of high-strength plastic aluminum alloys in terms of 3D printing; (b) the development of ultra-strong strength powder metallurgy (P/M)-based high entropy alloy (HEA) in terms of defect engineering; (c) refractory metal-based biomaterials and (d) cemented carbides and cermets with high performance.
