About Hu-Tian

Dr. Li is a JLR Research Fellow.  He earned his PhD in Solidification Science in March 2011 at Brunel University.  Prior to joining BCAST in 2008, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Northeastern University, in China.  He earned his first PhD in Materials Science and Engineering in 2006 at the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) where his research focused on the development of Intermetallics (NiAl)-based in-situ composites for elevated temperature structural applications.

Dr. Li's current research centres on the experimental investigation of heterogeneous nucleation behavours, formation of intermetallic phases under dynamic conditions and development of novel master alloys for modification of microstructures of aluminium alloys
