He has published over 400 papers in archived journals and refereed conference proceedings. He is a fellow of SME and ASME and also a senior member of LIA, ASM and TMS.
Prof. Qigang Han, Jilin UniversityBio: Prof. Qigang Han has served as a professor and an assistant dean for College of Materials Science and Engineering, Jilin University,China. His research area is focus on the materials design, synthesis, processing, modeling and simulation. Inspired by the multi-regional structure of mineralized fiber layers in the dactyl clubs of mantis shrimps and its corresponding impact-resistance function, his team carry out the study on biomimetic structural design and flexible manufacturing technology of continuous fiber composite, honeycomb sandwich composite and hybrid-scale fiber composite. Afterwards, the principle of fiber synergy and bio-inspiredregulation on structure/function is proposed. Then, the analytical model of bio-inspired structure/function was established and the bio-inspired structural/functional fiber composite was designed. Furthermore, the new mechanism and method of multi-point flexible hot-press forming were formed to solve the problems of improving the properties and restraining the residual stress of fiber composites. Prof. Han have publish about 100 papers, and got about 50 patents.
Assoc. Prof. Jinyang Xu, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, ChinaBio: Jinyang Xu is an Associate Professor and a Doctoral Supervisor of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. He received his Ph.D. (2016) in Mechanical Engineering from Arts et Métiers ParisTech, France. His research interests focus on composites machining, numerical modeling, micro/nano cutting, and surface texturing. He has published over 100 articles in highly-ranked JCR-referenced journals as a first/corresponding author, and edited 2 monographs, 5 book chapters, 5 int. conf. proceedings & 8 special issues. He now serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Coating Science and Technology (JCST) and the International Journal of Product Sound Quality (IJPSQ). He is an Associate Editor of Simulation - Transactions of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCIE/EI) and Frontiers in Materials (SCIE/SCOPUS). Presently, he is an Editorial Board Member of 7 SCI journals, including Green Materials, Journal of Superhard Materials, Int. J.
