About author:Dr. Yiping Lu is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Dalian University of Technology (DUT), China. Prof. Lu was selected as the Young and Middle-aged Innovation Leaders of the “Ministry of Science and Technology of China”, the “Outstanding Youth Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China”, the Top Youth Talents of Liaoning Province, and the Outstanding Young Scientific and Technological Talents of Dalian City. He currently serves as a committee member of several academic organization, including “Executive Director of the Youth Working Committee of Chinese Materials Research Society”, “Member/ Deputy Secretary General of Solidification Science and Technology Branch of Chinese Materials Research Society”, “Member of Space Materials Science and Technology Branch of Chinese Materials Research Society”, the editor of “Acta Metallurgica Sinica (English Letters)”, etc. His research mainly focuses on composition design, smelting, solidified structure control, microstructural analysis and performance test of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Dr. Lu is one of the earliest scholars to study HEAs and is also an internationally recognized leader in the fields of eutectic HEAs (EHEAs). He proposed the design idea of EHEAs and opened up a new subclass of HEAs. Dr. Lu has published ~ 70 peer-reviewed journal papers on HEAs with a total of over 2600 citations based on the “Google Scholar”. He has written the highly cited papers, including “A promising new class of high-temperature alloys: eutectic high-entropy alloys. Scientific Reports 4 (2014) 6200”; and “Directly cast bulk eutectic and near-eutectic high-entropy alloys with balanced strength and ductility in a wide temperature range. Acta Materialia 124 (2017) 143-150”. Both articles have attracted considerable attention as illustrated by their 415 and 236 citations, respectively, searched from the “Google Scholar”. These two papers are currently the highest cited paper in this EHEAs area. Dr. Lu will make further efforts to promote the development of HEAs and EHEAs.
