Doctor Zhuoran (Randy) Zeng presently a research fellow at the Australian National University. He received his B. Eng. with first-class honour (2011) and Ph.D. (2016) from Monash University. He was an postdoctoral research fellow (2016 - 2017) and Assistant Lecturer (2017-2019) at Monash University. His research interests include design and development of magnesium wrought alloys, mechanical metallurgy, X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy. He is currently working on the development of high performance ultra-lightweight Mg-Li based wrought alloy, materials degradation and protection, and application of advanced characterisation techniques (particularly in-situ techniques). He is now the reviewer of several journals including Acta Materialia, Metallurgical and Materials Transaction A, Materials Science and Engineering A, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, etc
