Biography

Prof. Rong-Chang Zeng is a retired professor at the College of Materials Science and Engineering, Shandong University of Science and Technology (SDUST), China. He received his B. Eng. and M. Eng. degree in 1987 and 1990, respectively, at Wuhan University of Technology, China, and his Ph.D. degree at the Institute of Metals Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2003 and studied in Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in Germany as a visiting scientist during Mar. 2006 to Feb. 2007.

His research is highly interdisciplinary in materials, chemistry, and biology, particularly on corrosion and surface modification of magnesium alloys. And he has published 249 Scopus (213 SCI) papers in Advanced Functional Materials, Acta Biomaterialia, Bioactive Materials, Corrosion Science, Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, etc. with an H-index of 66, cited times 13435, and 9 books/chapters, hold 32 authorized patents.
Dr. Zeng are ranked as the World's Top 2% (2021, 2022 and 2013 list) of the most-cited scientists and the Top 2‰ in materials science released by Stanford University.
His current interest is focused on the corrosion or degradation mechanisms (i.e., exfoliation)and surface modification of bio-magnesium alloys related to small bio-organic molecules (i.e., glucose, amino acids) and micro-compressive stress.

Now he is the group head of the innovation research team “corrosion and protection of materials” of SDUST, the first current chairman of the Corrosion Control Professional Committee of Biomedical Metal Materials, Chinese Society of Corrosion and Protection (CSCP),
Also, Prof. Zeng is the Associate Editor-in-Chief of Smart Materials in Manufacturing (KeAi), and Associate Editor of Exploration of BioMat-X, the editorial board member of 16 journals, including Bioactive Materials (IF18.9), Journal of Magnesium and Alloys (IF17.6), Frontier of Materials Science (IF 2.765, Springer), Heliyon, Frontiers in Materials, Advances in Functional Materials, Journal of Functional Biomaterials (IF4.901), Journal of Modern Polymer Chemistry and Materials, reviewer board member of the International Journal of Corrosion and Scale Inhibition as well as the guest editors of Frontier of Materials Science, Surface Technology (ISSN 1001-3660), Journal of Aeronautical Materials (CN11-3159/V), Journal of Functional Biomaterials and Smart Materials in Manufacturing.

In his research team, tweenty-nine persons of the graduated postgraduates have been become Ph.D candidates or granted Ph.D degree. Prof. Zeng has been invited to chair international and national conferences, give invited lectures at over 50 universities and institutes in China and presented 120+ plenary speeches, invited keynotes and lectures at international and national congresses, conferences, and workshops.

Prof. Zeng received numerous rewards and honours:
1. International Magnesium Award for Special Contribution on Innovation of the Year (Annual Award) (2024)
2. Board Member of International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) Chinese Council (2024)
3. Person of the year, International Magnesium Science and Technology Award (2023) for his contribution to corrosion and surface modification of Mg alloys, International Mg Society and Journal of Magnesium and Alloys.
4. Fellow of IAAM (FIAAM) (2022)
5. IAAM Scientist Medal (2023 ).
6. Full membership (Member Number: 20239991742) in Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society (2023).
7. Elsevier's Highly Cited Chinese Researchers (2021-2023).
8. Best Researcher on Corrosion and Protection by the Chinese Society of Corrosion and Protection (CSCP). 2021
9. Contribution Award in recognition of the contributions to Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2021
10. Contribution Award in recognition of the 30th anniversary of Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China (2022).
11. Top reviewer by China Association for Science and Technology, 2021.
12. Top reviewers in Materials Science and Cross-Field by Publons, 2019 .
13. Second prize in the Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education of China (2018).
