The recipient of 2017 Lee Hsun Lecture Series—Lee Hsun Lecture Award, Prof. R. Devesh K. Misra from University of Texas at El Paso visited Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMR, CAS) on June 14, 2018.

During the visit, Prof. Misra delivered a lecture entitled “The Intersection of Materials Science and Biology: The Biomaterials Science”. In his lecture, he presented the multifaceted opportunity that the materials science and engineering concepts offers for new developments in biomaterials. He also introduced some collaboration with IMR.

Misra is currently the Chair, Professor, and Director of Interdisciplinary Program in Materials Science and Engineering of University of Texas at El Paso. Prof. Misra ‘s interdisciplinary research interests include advanced high strength-high toughness combination metals and alloys for structural and functional applications, materials for energy systems, biomaterials, and nanostructured materials including composite materials. These research programs involve the use of a broad spectrum of materials characterization techniques such as electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, EBSD, atomic force microscopy, and mechanical testing.
