He is a Fellow of Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and Hong Kong Institute of Engineers (HKIE). Professor Fu is the Royal Society Wolfson Visiting Fellow and an Associate Director of Research Institute for Advanced Manufacturing at HK PolyU. From 1987 to 1995, he worked as a faculty member in China. Upon completion of his PhD study in the National University of Singapore in 1997, he joined the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology as a Senior Research Engineer. In Aug 2006, he joined the HK PolyU as a faculty member. Professor Fu is quite active in exploring advanced materials processing, multi-scaled and deformation-based manufacturing, plasticity/damage/fracture/fatigue of materials, FEM modelling and simulation, size effects and micro-mechanics. These efforts aim at seeking for an epistemological understanding of the physical nature behind these disciplines, developing the knowledge in these areas, and successfully addressing a plethora of challenges and bottlenecked issues in these domains, and eventually developing the state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and solutions. His research has benefited the development of the technologies in the above-described fields and led to over 300 journal publications, 6 monographs and one edited volume of the Encyclopedia of Materials: Metals and Alloys published by top publishers. He often gives plenary talk in many international conferences, including ICTP, NumiForm, WCMNM, etc., in different countries.

Prof. Zhiming Li, Central South University, China
