Background Information: 

Li Meifeng is an Assistant Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at Ningbo Oriental Institute of Technology (Provisional Name). She obtained her Ph.D. in Engineering from Beihang University in 2018, followed by postdoctoral research positions at Beihang University and the University of Alberta, Canada. Her primary research focuses on corrosion and protection of metallic materials, including high-temperature oxidation, electrochemical corrosion mechanisms, surface modification, and the design and fabrication of protective coatings. Her work has resulted in over 30 SCI-indexed publications, including 25 papers as first or corresponding author in top-tier journals such as Materials Today, Acta Materialia, and Corrosion Science.

Research Field:

Dr. Li’s research focuses on the design and development of advanced high-temperature metallic coatings and iron-, cobalt-, and nickel-based superalloys, as well as high entropy alloys (HEAs) for applications in extreme environments within the aerospace, marine, and energy sectors. Her research further extends to the corrosion and degradation of steels and alloys in supercritical H2 and CO2 environments in advanced energy systems. Moreover, Dr. Li employs innovative computational approaches, such as DFT, MD, and thermo-calc simulations, to assist in the development and implementation of coatings and superalloys with superior high-temperature performance.
