Tao Yang Prof. Alloy design、3D-APT、Additive manufacturing、Intermetallics、Superalloys
Prof. Tao Yang, Associate Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of the City University of Hong Kong. He also worked as the Core Member at the Inter-University 3D-APT Unit, CityU, the Hong Kong Branch of the National Precious Metals Material Engineering Research Center (NPMM), and the Center of Advanced Structural Material (CityU). Prof. Yang was named the NSFC Excellent Young Scientist (Hong Kong and Macau) and the ECS Award of the Research Grant Council (RGC) of Hong Kong. He also won the HKIAS Rising Star Award, IUMRS Young Scientist Award, CMRS Young Scientist Award, Best Youth Scholar Award, MRL Young Talent Award, and Acta/Scripta Outstanding Reviewer. In 2021-23, he was selected as the Stanford's list of Top 2% most cited scientists in the world. Prof. Yang’s primary research interests are on the innovative design and manufacturing of advanced metallic materials. During the last few years, he mainly focused on the alloy design, microstructural control, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and deformation mechanisms of alloys, including high-entropy alloys, intermetallic compounds, nanostructured steels, and superalloys through experimental investigations (3D-APT and HR-TEM) combined with theoretical calculations. In recent 5 years, he has published over 110 papers in top-tier academic journals. Being the first/corresponding authors, many high-impact research papers have been successfully published, which includes Science (3 articles), Nature Communications (2 articles), Materials Today, Advanced Science, Advanced Materials, Acta Materialia, Scripta Materialia, etc.
