Biography

Dr. Binhan Sun received his Bachelor (2011) and Master (2013) degree at School of Materials and Metallurgy, Northeastern University, China. He then joined McGill University, Canada where he obtained his Ph.D. in 2017. In 2018, he received the Humboldt Research Fellowship and went to Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE) as a Postdoctoral Researcher. From 2020-2021, he served as the deputy group leader of research group “mechanisms-based alloy design” and the group leader of “H embrittlement in high-performance alloys”. He is now a full professor at School of Mechanical and Power Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology and an external group leader of research group “Hydrogen Embrittlement in High-Performance Alloys” in MPI for Sustainable Materials. His main researches focus on damage and fracture of metallic materials and their design to overcome some fundamental issues like hydrogen embrittlement and strength-ductility tradeoff. He has now published more than 90 peer-reviewed papers in well-reputed journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Materials, PNAS, Nature Communications, Science Advances, and Acta Materialia. In the meantime, he also serves as independent reviewer for more than 30 journals and youth editorial board member/guest editor for five SCI journals.
