Baolong Zheng

Baolong Zheng received his Ph.D. degree in materials science and engineering in 2006 from UC Davis. During his Ph.D studies he worked under Professor E. J. Lavernia advising on synthesis and behavior of metallic glass via gas atomization and laser engineering net shipping (LENS). After get Ph.D. he continue his research as a Postdoctoral Researcher and an Assistant Project Scientist on LENS 3D deposition of Ti-, Ni-, and Fe-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) with plasma coated micro-balloons, B4C, TiC, Al2O3, and CNT reinforcements, as well as Al-Ni foam materials; and synthesis and characterization of nanostructured and amorphous Mg-, Ti- and Al-based alloys and MMCs through a serial of powder metallurgy and thermo-mechanical processing, including gas atomization, cryomilling, SPEX milling, CIP/HIP, SPS, extrusion, ECAP, and HPT.
