The recipient of 2015 Lee Hsun Lecture Series – Lee Hsun Lecture Award, Prof. Chen Long-Qing of Pennsylvania State University visited the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMR, CAS) on Dec. 16, 2015.

During the visit, Prof. Chen gave a lecture on “Phase-field Method and Its Applications to Modeling and Predicting Microstructures and Properties”. Taking as examples of their research works on the microstructure evolution during phase transformation and domain structure manipulation to optimize the electromagnetic performance of functional materials, he has demonstrated the significant role of microstructures modeling in exploring the unknown and accelerating the development of advanced materials and devices.

Prof. Chen Long-Qing is the Donald W. Hamer Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Pennsylvania State University. He devotes into the area of computational microstructure evolution and multiscale modeling of metallic alloys, oxides, and energy materials. His team has conducted numerous groundbreaking researches on the establishment and application of phase field model. The model and algorithm he proposes have been acknowledged and adopted worldwide.
