معرفی
Xiaoming Wang is a Professor at Purdue University's Polytechnic Institute in West Lafayette, Indiana, where he has served since 2013, progressing from Visiting Assistant Professor to his current role. His research focuses on light metal technologies, including die-casting and additive manufacturing of aluminum alloys and composites. Professor Wang is actively engaged in professional service, including editorial roles for Engineering Science in Additive Manufacturing and JOM, and leadership in TMS committees. He teaches courses such as Advanced Materials in Manufacturing and Applied Metallurgy.
His educational background includes:
- PhD in Materials from the University of Leeds, UK (2000)
- MSc in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, China (1995)
- BSc in Chemical Engineering/Materials Science and Engineering from Hefei University of Technology, China (1989)
Professor Wang's primary research areas are Additive Manufacturing and Lightweight Metals. He investigates metal matrix composites, die-casting processes, and the characterization of materials. His work aims to overcome challenges such as the strength-ductility trade-off in aluminum alloys through innovative composite designs and processing techniques.
His recent publications (2021-2024) demonstrate a strong focus on additive manufacturing of aluminum-based composites, particularly using scandium and titanium diboride reinforcements. The research spans computational modeling of solute evolution, micromechanical simulation of particle-reinforced composites, and experimental studies to enhance thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. This work addresses critical barriers in the adoption of additive manufacturing for high-performance metal components.
