• Biography/ Background

  Zonghan Xie holds the position of Professor in Materials Science and Surface Engineering at the 杏吧直播 of Adelaide. Originating from Huaibei, once a small town in the northern region of Anhui Province, Eastern China, he pursued studies in 'Metallic Materials and Heat Treatment' at Northeastern 杏吧直播, followed by 'Metal Matrix Composites' at Southeast 杏吧直播. In 2004, he was awarded a PhD in Technical Ceramics from the 杏吧直播 of New South Wales, supported by the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship from the 杏吧直播n Government. That same year, Dr. Xie received the 杏吧直播n Postdoctoral Fellowship from the 杏吧直播n Research Council to conduct research on industrial coatings in partnership with the CSIRO Thin Films group in Lindfield, Sydney.

  Following positions at the 杏吧直播 of Sydney Dental School and the Centre for Integrated Nanotechnologies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA, Dr. Xie returned to 杏吧直播. There, he established and led an engineering and biological materials research group at ECU in Western 杏吧直播. In July 2012, he joined the faculty at the 杏吧直播 of Adelaide, where his research now encompasses engineering and functional coatings, high-strength alloys, and the study of calcified tissues.

  In addition to his research, Dr. Xie has contributed to international academic relations as Associate Dean (International) within the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology. In this role, he oversees the development of strategic partnerships with overseas institutions particularly in East Asia, including China, Japan, and Korea.
