Dr. Mingwang Fu is a leading expert in the area of materials processing and manufacturing engineering and has been conducting research on deformation-based materials processing, especially for forming-based micromanufacturing. He has established a world-class research group at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University with the main focuses on advanced materials processing, numerical modeling and simulation, size effect–based micromechanics, and damage and fracture in deformation-based manufacturing and product service. He is a chair professor of advanced manufacturing, the fellow of Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), and Hong Kong Institute of Engineers (HKIE). He is also the Royal Society Wolfson Visiting Fellow and serving a number of international journals, including Int. J. Plast., Int. J. Mach. Tools Manuf., Int. J. Mech. Sci., Mater. Des., Int. J. Damage Mech., Int. J. Adv. Manuf. Technol, Adv. Manuf., J. Manuf. Mater. Process., and Manuf. Rev., as an editorial board member or associate editor.
