Welcome Speech
Science Center for Material Design and Preparation at Central South University was established by Prof. Yong Du after he returned China in February, 2003. Currently, the center consists of 2 professors, 5 associate professor, 1 engineer and 60 postgraduate students. The three academicians in China (Prof. Baiyun Huang, Prof. Zhanpeng Jin and Prof. Peiyun Huang) are appointed as the academic consultants of the center.
The main research fields of the science center cover thermodynamics of phase diagram, diffusion and interfacial reaction, determination and computational simulation of materials performance, microstructural evolution simulation, application of gradient coating technology, hydrogen storage material design and its application,etc. The center has establishd the close cooperative relationships with University of Vienna (Austria), Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Thermo-Calc software company (Sweden), Montan unirersitat Leoben (Auselia), Clausthal University of Technology (Germany), Max–Planck–Institut für Eisenforschung (Germany), Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum (Germany), Aachen University (Germany), Materials Science International Team (Germany), University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA), Pennsylvania State University (USA) and Illinois Institute of Technology (USA).
