Chartered Engineer (CEng) with 10+ years' experience in high temperature materials for power generation (aerospace gas turbines, biomass-fired power plant, and nuclear reactors) and surface engineering for protection of metals against environmental degradation (e.g., oxidation, corrosion, and wear) including: (1) thermal barrier coatings on Ni-based superalloys gas turbines (2) corrosion resistant coatings on Steels in superheated steam boilers (3) wear resistant Titanium Alloys and Titanium Matrix Composites My work is validated by innovative electron microscopy approaches (SEM, FIB, and TEM) and thermodynamic calculation allowing detailed understanding of the relationship between microstructure, phase, composition and performance. I have published 40+ peer reviewed journal papers with 1000+ citations (h-index: 17), and owns 1 International patent on a novel platinum oxidation resistant coating (WO 2015181549) and two Chinese patents.
