Biography
Professor Yuntian Zhu received his Ph.D. degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994. He joined the City University of Hong Kong as a Chair Professor in 2020, before which he was a Distinguished Professor in North Carolina State University, where he worked from 2007 to 2020. He worked as a postdoc, staff member and team leader in Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1994 to 2007.
His research in recent years has focused on the deformation mechanisms at dislocation level and mechanical behaviors of heterostructured materials, and nano/ultrafine-grained materials. He is an experimentalist with primary interest in fundamental aspects of materials science and also in designing materials with superior strength and ductility. As of March 20, 2021, his publications have been collectively cited for ~ 43,000 times with h-index of 107 according to Google Scholar.
