Prof. Kaiyu Luo is currently working at the School of Mechanical Engineering at Jiangsu University of China. She has focused on the laser shock peening (LSP) process and investigation of microstructural evolution and corrosion resistances. She had published 20 invention patents and more than 150 papers in peer-reviewed international journals, including International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacturing, Acta Materialia, International Journal of Plasticity, Corrosion Science, Materials & Design, International Journal of Fatigue, Applied Surface Science, etc., which have received over 3000 citations with an H-index of 29 according to the Scopus database.
Dr. Youyu Su received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Jiangsu University under the supervision of Prof. Kaiyu Luo. She has focused on laser additive manufacturing (LAM) and melt pool monitoring (MPM) to improve the forming quality of laser directed energy deposition (LDED) for seven years. She has published 13 papers relating to LAM and MPM in international journals, including Additive Manufacturing, International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, Journal of Manufacturing Processes, Materials Science & Engineering A, etc.
Prof. Jinzhong Lu is an internationally well-known professor in laser shock peening (LSP) and laser additive manufacturing (LAM). He first proposed LSP-induced surface nano-crystallisation of metallic materials, first built a relationship between the LSP-induced strain rate and the local microstructure, and developed microstructural evolutions of FCC, HCP, and BCC materials. He has published 20 invention patents and more than 210 papers relating to LSP and LAM in international journals, including International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacturing, Acta Materialia, International Journal of Plasticity, Additive Manufacturing, Corrosion Science, etc., which have received over 6100 citations. His contributions in fundamental research and experimental data provide useful information for researchers and engineers in LSP and LAM.
