Prof. Huang received his
BEng and MSc in
Mechanics from Shanghai
Jiao Tong University
(SJTU) in 2002 and 2004,
respectively, and his
PhD in Materials Science
in 2008 from Delft
University of Technology
(TU Delft), The
Netherlands. From 2008
to 2010, he worked as a
research engineer at
ArcelorMittal (the
largest steel company in
the world) in
Maizieres-les-Metz,
France. His research
work in ArcelorMittal
focused on the
development of new
advanced steels for
lightweight automotive
applications. Prof.
Huang joined University
of Hong Kong in 2010 as
an Assistant Professor,
and was promoted to
Associate Professor with
tenure in 2016, full
Professor in 2019 and Chair Professor in 2023. Prof.
Huang’s research
interests focus on
: (1) Structural Materials (steel, Mg alloy, Al alloy, Ni-based
alloy etc.); (2) Fracture and hydrogen embrittlement; (3) Phase transformation; (4) Anti-
pathogenic materials; and (5) Corrosion-resistant materials. Both
experimental and
modelling works are
involved in his
research. Being the PI,
Prof. Huang
secured funding from
Collaborative Research
Fund (UGC,
HK),
Research Impact Fund
(UGC, HK),
National Key R&D Program
(國家重點研發計劃,
mainland China),
General Research Fund
(UGC, HK), Innovation
and Technology Fund
(HK), National Natural
Science Foundation of
China (mainland China),
and industries
from Europe and China
(e.g. ArcelorMittal
France, General Motors,
Ansteel, Baosteel etc).
Prof. Huang has
published 160+ SCI journal papers on
international journals
including
Science, Materials Today, Acta
Materialia, Scripta
Materialia, JMPS and IJP
etc.
