Dr. Zhuoran Zeng is presently a Research Fellow at the Australian National University. He received his B. Eng. with first-class Honours (2011) and Ph.D. (2016) from Monash University. His research has principally focused on the processing, characterization, and fundamental metallurgy of magnesium (Mg) alloys. He developed a quasi-in-situ EBSD technique/methodology to monitor the deformation evolution and texture evolution in wrought magnesium alloys and provided new fundamental insights into the precise role of solute atoms in grain boundary migration. His work on grain boundary deformation and texture evolution on the mechanical behaviour and properties of wrought Mg alloys remains significant. The work of Dr. Zeng led to the development of super-formable pure Mg at room temperature, a major breakthrough selected by the Nature Portfolio as a feature article for “Mg”. He discovered an annealing strengthening phenomenon, contributing to the development of compositionally-lean Mg alloys for higher performance and lower-cost thermomechanical processing. In addition, he has been a trailblazer in the area of additively manufactured Mg alloys, in addition to the development of Mg alloys with high corrosion resistance. He has published >35 research papers and is an inventor or co-inventor on >20 patents, and is on Youth Committee Member of the Editorial Board for Journal of Magnesium and Alloys.
