Dr. Weidong Li obtained his B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from China University of Geoscience (Beijing) in 2007, M.S. in Materials Processing Engineering from University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2010, and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from University of Tennessee in 2013. He has been serving the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Tennessee as an adjunct faculty member since 2018. Furthermore, he has nearly ten-year industrial experience, working in R&D units of the ceramic, rubber and tire, and aerospace industries on a variety of topics. His research interests generally lie in the alloy design, integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), fracture and fatigue, and mechanical behavior of materials, specifically in materials like high-entropy alloys, superalloys, and specialty steels.Dr. Jamieson Brechtl obtained his B.S. in Nuclear Engineering and his M.S. in Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 2012. He later obtained his Ph.D. in Energy Science and Engineering from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 2019. Currently, he works as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Multifunctional Equipment Integration Group at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His research interests include plastic deformation, irradiation effects, nanoindentation, X-ray and neutron diffraction, microscopy, high-entropy alloys, and bulk-metallic glasses. He has authored or co-authored over thirty journal papers and presented at numerous engineering conferences. He was awarded the Chancellor's Citation for Extraordinary Professional Promise from the University of Tennessee in 2019. He is also a current member of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS).
