Dr X Song obtained his Bachelor degree from Tsinghua University, China and Doctor degree from University of Oxford in the area of mechanical and material engineering, respectively. After working two years as postdoctoral research fellow for Rolls Royce University Technology Center (RR-UTC) Oxford on residual stress analysis in selective laser melting processes, he joined SIMTech, A*STAR as scientist from 2012 (promoted to senior scientist in 2019), working on micro metal processing, including micro forming and micro selective laser melting, which has won him SIMTech Best Industry Project Award and Staff-of-the-year Award. He joined Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2019 as Assistant Professor, conducting research and teaching on high-precision selective laser melting and design for additive manufacturing. He has more than 100 papers published in international journals on the topic of material deformation and manufacturing processes. His recent work on high-precision selective laser melting of novel lattice structures has led to many publications and industry awards such as Red Dot Design Award in the areas of design, additive manufacturing and materials. he is a member of Institute of Physics (UK) and Chartered Engineer (UK). He currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the top academic journal <Materials and Design>.
