Advanced materials and key engineering materials, and their deformation, fatigue, fracture, welding and joining. Dr. Daolun Chen is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Ryerson University, Toronto. He received his BSc and MSc from Northeastern University in 1983 and 1986, respectively, PhD from the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 1989, and Dr.rer.nat. from the University of Vienna, Austria, 1993. Dr. Chen has published 400 peer-reviewed journal (318) and conference (82) papers including an invited “Advanced Engineering Materials Hall of Fame” article, plus 196 non-refereed conference papers/research reports. His pioneering work on nanocomposites leads to a well-known method that bears his name, and is twice identified by the Council of Canadian Academies to be one of the top 1% most highly cited papers in his field worldwide. He is a recipient of a number of prestigious awards, including Canadian Metal Physics Award, G.H. Duggan Medal, Premier’s Research Excellence Award, MetSoc Award for Research Excellence, MetSoc Distinguished Materials Scientist Award, and Sarwan Sahota Distinguished Scholar Award. Dr. Chen is an elected Fellow of Canadian Academy of Engineering (FCAE), Fellow of Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (FCIM), Fellow of Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (FIMMM), and an Associate Editor or Editorial Board Member of 28 journals, includingMaterials Research Letters,Materials and Design ,Journal of Materials Science and Technology , andMaterials Science and Engineering A. He has been invited by science reporters to give interviews and comments on some key scientific breakthroughs published in the journals ofNatureandScience. |
