Profile

Dr. Qiang (Charles) Feng is a Professor of the State Key Laboratory for Advanced Metals and Materials at the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB) and an internationally recognized materials scientist in the field of Ni- and Co-based superalloys. He received his Bachelor/MS degree from USTB in 1991 and 1994, respectively, and received his Ph.D. degree from New York University (formerly Polytechnic University) in 2000. He worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Michigan from 2000 to 2005. His research interests include alloy development, microstructure, mechanical properties (creep and fatigue) and life prediction of high temperature structural materials, including superalloys, intermetallic alloys and heat resistant steels. Materials systems of interests are mainly applied in aircraft engine and gas turbine industries as well as automotive industries. Prof. Feng has authored or co-authored over 200 papers in referred journals, conference proceeding papers and over 20 patents.

He has been honored by the Chinese Ministry of Education as a “New Century Excellent Talents in University,” and received numerous awards including the “Outstanding Contribution Award” from the Chinese Materials Research Society (C-MRS), “Young Leader Award” from the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS), and the “Research Mentor Award” from the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan. Prof. Feng has been a founding organizer of a series of superalloys symposiums at the Chinese Materials Conference, which is hold annually, and co-organizer of a number of international symposiums, such as 5^th World Congress on Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME2019) and 14^th International Symposium on Superalloys (Superalloys2020). He also serves as a member of the editorial board for Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A, Journal of Materials Science and Technology, Materials Research Letter, Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation.
