Professor Jianguo Lin, Fellow of Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng), is a TATA Steel and Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair and Head of Mechanics of Materials Division, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College London, UK. He is the Director of AVIC Centre for structural design and manufacture, Director of AVIC Centre for materials characterisation, processing and modelling, Director of CALT Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory.
Professor Lin's research expertise is in Materials and Process modelling, Solid/Computational Mechanics, which includes micro-mechanics modelling, and its application in creep-damage, cyclic-plasticity-damage, viscoplasticity and advanced materials processing technologies.
Professor Hodgson spent 16 years in the BHP Research Laboratories before joining Deakin University in 1996. Prior to joining Deakin his main areas of research were thermomechanical processing of steels, microstructure modelling and new alloy and process developments. Since joining Deakin his research has broadened to include sheet metal forming, the forming and post forming behaviour of advanced high strength steels, nanostructured metals, biomaterials and surface engineering. He has over 700 research publications and has presented more than 50 keynote lectures at international conferences related to the physical metallurgy and modelling of steels. In 2004 Professor Hodgson was made one of the inaugural Alfred Deakin Professors and also awarded a Federation Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. He received a Doctoris Honoris Causa from the University of Valenciennes in France for contributions to metal forming in 2005 and a Faculty Medal from AGH Poland in 2006 for contributions to Materials Science.
Dr. Mingtu Ma , male, senior engineer and vice chief engineer in Chinese Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co. Ltd now. He also serves as the vice president in materials branch of Society of Automotive Engineers of China, the vice chairman in materials branch of Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, chairman or members of organizing committees for a number of international conferences, and members in academic councils of some state key laboratories, etc.
Dr. Ma has obtained a variety of achievements and reputations in the research of dual phase steel. He firstly represented the strength of dual phase steel using non-continuous fiber reinforced mixing law instead of the earlier continuous viewpoints, and concluded a new expression of mixing law for dual steel, which significantly improved the strength theory of dual phase steel. He published the first professional monograph entitled “Dual phase steel-physical and mechanical metallurgy” in the world, which was regarded as classical work in this field.
