Brief Introduction to Prof. Dr. Yong Du

Dr. Yong Du, Male, born on Nov. 27, 1964. He is the Chinese director of the Sino-German cooperation group "Microstructure", vice director of State Key Lab of Powder Metallurgy of Central South University, and vice director of Science Center for Phase Diagram & Materials Design and Manufacture, Central South University (CSU). He was selected to be National Outstanding Youth of National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2004, Cheung Kong Chair Professorship of Ministry of Education of China in 2006, group leader of Innovative Team of Cheung Kong Scholars and Innovative Research Team Develop Plan, Ministry of Education of China in 2005, Group leader of Innovative Research Team of National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2007. Currently, he is associate Editor of CALPHAD, associate Editor of Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion, Advisory Board of International Journal of Materials Research (formerly Z. Metallkd.), and Editorial member for Vacuum, Inter. J. Mining and Metallurgy and Acta Metall. Sinica.

He received Ph.D degree from CSU in 1992. From August 1993 to January 2003, Dr. Yong Du worked in Tokyo Institute of Technology, University of Barcelona, University of Clausthal of Germany, University of Vienna, and University of Wisconsin-Madison as an invited researcher, research scientist, postdoctoral, and Alexander von Humboldt research fellow. His research fields include thermodynamics, phase diagram, diffusion, microstructure characterization, phase field method, and structure-property correlation of light alloys, cemented carbides, hard-coating, nuclear materials, and energy materials.

So far he has been awarded one First Class Prize of Hunan Provincial Natural Science, one Third Class Prize of National Natural Science, one best paper prize of APDIC (Alloy Phase Diagram International committee). He has published 710 papers with about 10000 SCI citation in 40 well-known international journals, such as Chem. Mater., Acta Mater., Phys. Rev. B, Scripta Mater., Surface Coating and Technology, J. Am. Ceram. Soc., Metall. Mater. Trans. A, Applied Physics Letter, and CALPHAD. He holds two patents in China.
