ICSI2023 Hydrogen embrittlement Thematic/Special Symposium Invited Speakers

Currently (22.02.2023), we have the following confirmed INVITED SPEAKERS - talks for the HE Thematic/Special Symposium 2023.

1. Prof. Frank Cheng, FRSC, FCAE , University of Calgary, Schulich School of Engineering, Canada Research Chair in Pipeline Engineering at the University of Calgary, Canada

It is our great pleasure since Prof. Frank Chang, University of Calgary, Schulich School of Engineering, Canada will give two talks during ICSI2023:

1. ICSI2023 Plenary talk: ”Fundamental insights into the hydrogen embrittlement of pipelines in high-pressure gaseous environments”. (https://lnkd.in/dGwAwzpX)

2. ICSI2023 Hydrogen embrittlement Thematic/Special Symposium Invited talk: "Study of hydrogen atom distribution at metallurgical features and mechanical defects contained in pipeline steels by scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy and finite element modeling".

Dr. Frank Cheng is a Professor and Canada Research Chair in Pipeline Engineering at the University of Calgary. Frank is an internationally recognized leader in Energy Pipeline Technology, with specializations in pipeline corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen pipeline technology, and defect assessment for structural integrity management. Frank is the author of 4 books and over 280 peer-reviewed journal papers. The total citations of his publications exceed 14,700, with an H-index of 73. Frank’s research excellence was recognized and evidenced by many prestigious awards. He was named the Canadian Distinguished Materials Scientist in 2019. Frank is elected Fellow of the U.S. National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), the U.K. Institute of Metallurgy, Mining and Minerals (IOM3), the U.K. Institute of Corrosion (ICorrr), the International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) and the Chinese Society for Corrosion Protection (CSCP). Frank serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Pipeline Science and Engineering. Frank obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta in 2000.

2. Prof. V.S. Raja, Institute Chair Professor, Dept. of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science, Indian Institute of Technology (ITT) Bombay, India

The tentative topic of the invited talk: ”Stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement”.

V. S. Raja is currently a professor in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials Science at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India. He has guided about 20 doctoral and 100 master’s students in Corrosion and has been a Consultant to over 50 industries; he has over 120 publications in various peer reviewed journals & books and delivered over 100 plenary, keynote, and invited talks at conferences. He is a recipient of the Meritorious award by NACE International India Section and Excellence in Teaching award by IIT Bombay and a Fellow of NACE International and Indian Institute of Metals.

3. Prof. Jun Song, McGill University, Department of Mining and Materials Engineering, Canada.

The tentative topic of the invited talk: ”Atomistic modeling of hydrogen embrittlement”.

Prof. Song together with colleagues from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (CASHIPS), has cracked the code on hydrogen trapping and bubbling at the nanoscale in metals. The work from 2019 clarifies fundamental physics and provides a powerful tool for quantitative assessment of hydrogen-induced damage, potentially paving the way for the development of next-generation hydrogen damage-resistant materials for, e.g., fusion reactors, hydrogen storage, and structural components in corrosive environments. The results of their work has been published in Nature Materials: https://lnkd.in/dPrKFDCn

Prof. Song and Prof. William Curtin, Director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering at école polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland, have shown in 2013 that the answer to hydrogen embrittlement may be rooted in how hydrogen modifies material behaviours at the nanoscale.?In their study, published in Nature Materials, Song and Curtin present a new model that can accurately predict the occurrence of hydrogen embrittlement: https://lnkd.in/dFbY_-aX

4. Prof. Dr. Ir. Tom Depover , University of Ghent, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Belgium, the title of the invited talk: ”Increasing the resistance to hydrogen embrittlement of martensitic medium carbon steels”.

5. Dr. Eng. Motomichi Koyama , Associate Professor, Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, Japan, the tentative topic of the invited online talk: ”To be defined”.

6. Dr. Masoud Moshtaghi , Senior Scientist, Chair of General and Analytical Chemistry Montanuniversit?t Leoben, Austria, the title of the invited talk: "Recent developments in understanding the mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement and trapping behaviour in Al alloys".

7. Dr. Cem ?rnek , Asst. Prof, Leibniz-Institut für Werkstofforientierte Technologien, Germany, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, the tentative topic of the invited talk: ”New insights and understanding of HE mechanism: Combined DFT modeling and experimental study”.
