Welcome
Speech
Science Center
for
Material Design and Application at Central South University was
established by Prof. Yong Du after he returned China in
February, 2003. Currently, the center consists of 2 professors, 1
associate professor, 1 assistant and 21 postgraduate
students. The three academicians in China (Prof. Baiyun
Huang, Prof. Zhanpeng Jin and Prof. Peiyun Huang) are
appointed as the
academic consultants of the center.
The main
research fields of the science center cover thermodynamics, phase diagram, diffusion and interfacial reaction,
determination and computer simulation of materials
performance, microstructure evolution simulation,
application of gradient coating technology and so on. The
center has establishes the
close
cooperative relationships with University of
Vienna (Austria), Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden),
Thermo-Calc software company (Sweden), Montan unirersitat
Leoben
(Auselia), Clausthal University
of Technology (Germany), Max–Planck–Institut für
Eisenforschung (Germany), Materials Science International
Team (Germany), University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA),
Pennsylvania State University (USA) and Illinois Institute
of Technology (USA).
The science
center pays great attention to the cultivation of the
students’ scientific literacy as well as their ability of
studying independently. Since the establishment of this
center, 12 postgraduate or doctoral students have been sent
abroad for advanced studies based on its widely academic
platform. Two doctoral
candidates (Hailin
Chen and Zhu Pan)
and two
postgraduate students (Wei Xiong and Shuhong Liu) have
worked on phase diagram and crystal structure in Physical
Chemistry Research Institute, University of Vienna for about
6 months in 2005 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, one Ph.D.
candidate (Lijun
Zhang) was invited to
Illinois Institute of Technology in USA
to study the high-temperature calorimetry for about half a
month.
To create more
successful
prospects
for the students in our center, we
establish the
close
cooperative relationships with many domestic and
international institutions,
and do receive many supports from them. The graduates from
our center are appreciated by the worldwide research
institutes and companies. In 2008, Two Ph.D. candidates, Li
Chen and Wei Xiong, were admitted to study in Leoben
University, Austria, and Royal Institute of Technology,
Sweden,
respectively.
One doctor graduating from this center is doing the
post-doctoral research in
Max–Planck–Institut
für Eisenforschung,
and another one is in Freiberg-University of technology in
Germany.
Our center not
only sponsors students to attend the academic conferences at
home and abroad, but also recommends students to apply for
the grants from various international organizations. In
2007, one doctoral student, Wei Xiong, took part in the
First Sino-German Symposium on Computational Thermodynamics
and Kinetics and their Applications to Solidification, and
received the best paper award. In 2008, another Ph.D.
candidate, Lijun Zhang, was granted for the STT scholarship
from the international Foundation for Applied Thermodynamics
in order to attend the international CALPHADXXXVII
conference held in Finland. In 2007, Ph.D candidate S. H.
Liu received the APDIC (Alloy Phase Digram International
Committe) best paper award.
In order to
create the good scientific research environment for the
outstanding undergraduate students, our science center
selects a group of excellent undergraduate students to
participate in our training courses of scientific researches
every year. In addition, the science center also encourages
the undergraduate student to be engaged in some scientific
research work in their leisure time as the step platform of
their future scientific research. The bachelor theses of two
undergraduate students, Wei Xiong and Lijun Zhang, were
chosen as the outstanding bachelor papers of Central South
University. Over the years,
nearly all the bachelor theses in this center have been
published as academic papers in various international
high-quality journals.
We sincerely
expected the excellent undergraduate and graduate students
from the domestic universities and research institutions to
join our team, displaying your own talent and composing your
brilliant life!
