Xing Gong

Xing Gong is an associate professor at Department of Nuclear Science and Technology of Shenzhen University. From 2004 to 2011, he obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in powder metallurgy at Central South University, China. Then, he moved to Belgium in October 2011 for pursuing a PhD degree in KU Leuven and Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK CEN). His PhD thesis was focused on low cycle fatigue of steels in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) under the support of the ADS-MYRRHA project. After he obtained the PhD degree in 2015, he continued a postdoc work at SCK CEN. In 2016, he decided to move to China Nuclear Power Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd., and joined a research team working on accident tolerant fuel (ATF). Since early 2018, he has been working in Shenzhen University.

His current research foci are placed on corrosion and stress corrosion cracking behaviors of various materials in heavy liquid metals (e.g., Pb and PbBi) as well as development of novel anticorrosion materials.
