Background Information: 

Meifeng Li is an assistant professor at the College of Engineering at the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) in Ningbo, China. She obtained her BASc in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China. She subsequently pursued her MASc and PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at Beihang University, before joining EIT as a PI.

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.
