Hang Z. Yu, Ph D, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Virginia Tech, USA. His research focuses on materials processing and manufacturing science, emphasizing the underlying process physics, mechanics, and kinetics. His work also aims to leverage the process fundamentals to drive material sustainability to new heights, e.g., via solid-state metal recycling, structural repair, and austere condition-resilient manufacturing. Nihan Tuncer, Ph D, is a Principal Scientist at Desktop Metal Inc. since 2016, where she has been developing solid-state 3D printing technologies and equipment. She holds several patents in addition to research papers and review articles. Her expertise includes powder metallurgy, processing-microstructure-property relationships in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, porous metals, and shape memory alloys. Zhili Feng, Ph D, currently leads the Materials Joining Group and is a Distinguished R&D Staff Member of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA. His research covers various aspects of thermal-mechanical-metallurgical behaviors of materials in materials joining.
