Dr. Shengyong Pang received his PhD degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2011. Currently, Dr. Pang is a professor of State Key Laboratory of Materials Processing and Die & Mould Technology, HUST and directed the Computational Welding and Additive Manufacturing (CWAM) group of HUST since 2011. Dr. Pang focuses on the research of understanding the process physics of high-density beam welding and additive manufacturing. Dr. Pang has developed finite volume and finite element software for predicting thermal fluid and stress behaviors in fusion welding and additive manufacturing. These software have been increasingly used in aerospace, shipbuilding, chemical, transportation and IC companies and commercialized by industries. Dr. Pang has published more than 60 papers in refereed journals and coauthored a book on laser welding. Dr. Pang received the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars award in 2020.
