2015-2017 Assistant Professor, Institute of Oceanology, CAS
Education
Ph.D. 2014. University of Birmingham, UK
B.Sc. 2010. Sichuan University, China
Professional Memberships
Member, Corrosion and Protection Society of Shandong Province and Qingdao City (2019- )
Research Interests
Pitting corrosion of steels; crevice corrosion assisted by mechanical factors; corrosion of biomedical materials.
Academic Achievements
Pitting corrosion behaviors of iron and stainless steels in radioactive waste environment have been characterized, including pitting initiation and propagation in full and partial immersion areas. The formation of solid corrosion products within pit has been proposed and quantitatively studied for the first time.
Corrosion of biomedical Ti, stainless steels and CrCoMo alloys have been studied in complicated simulants, and corrosion mechanisms have been proposed including synergistic effect of various species, oxide film, etc.
Crevice corrosion coupled with mechanical factors have been researched in-situ via self-developed devices.
Study on corrosion cost in China has been carried out thoroughly based on more than 30 industrial sectors.
Honors and Awards
Tooru Tsuru Outstanding Young Scientist Award 2016
Outstanding Contribution Award on Major Consulting Project of CAE “Study of Corrosion Status and Control Strategy in China”
