Work with Mingwen Bai | NotedSource
I am a UK Chartered Engineer (CEng) with over a decade of
experience in surface engineering aimed at protecting
metals from environmental degradation such as oxidation,
corrosion, and wear. My work has broad applications in
power generation, including aerospace gas turbines,
biomass-fired power plants, and nuclear reactors. I earned
my BEng in Materials Science and Engineering from Shanghai
Jiao Tong University in 2011 and completed my PhD in
Materials at the University of Manchester in 2015. Before
assuming my current role, I served as an Assistant
Professor at Coventry University from 2020 to 2023. I have
also held postdoctoral positions at the University of
Sheffield (2018-2020) and the University of Nottingham
(2016-2018), contributing to two large EPSRC-funded
projects (EP/R001766/1 and EP/M01536X/1).
