导师介绍：Dr Liu Hongfei is a senior scientist at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE). He graduated from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 1996 with his bachelor’s degree (Semiconductor Physics and Devices) and received his Ph.D. degree (Condensed-State Physics) in 2001 from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He held the adjunct assistant professor position at the Dept. Mater. Sci. Eng. National University of Singapore during 2009-2011. His research focuses on design, growth and characterization of semiconductor thin films and nanomaterials for electronic and optoelectronic applications; laser-assisted deposition/coating of alloys and composite for industrial applications; surface engineering of structural metal alloys; and protective coating for medical devices, aerospace components, and civil infrastructural systems. He has published over 180 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is a scientific committee member of international conference on advanced surface enhancement (INCASE) and an editorial member of a few journals of materials science and engineering, e.g., Scientific Report (NPG), Coatings (MDPI), etc

Dr. Liu is currently initiating a joint Lab. research with School of Physics and Mathematics Science (SPMS) at NTU focusing on Quantum and Optoelectronic Materials. He is also the technique leader representing IMRE in joint research between ASTAR and AMAT. He is a supervisor for ph. d student with the frame of joint ASTAR-University of Manchester scholarship.
