Guang Zeng

I am Guang, a PhD candidate at RMIT University. I used to work as a rare metals engineer in the Northwest Institute for Nonferrous Metal Research (NIN) in China, and received my first bachelor’s degree of Material Science and Engineering from Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU).

ALUMNUS – Current LinkedIn profile including contact details.

In 2017, I started my PhD research into novel, fast manufacturing approaches for depositing unique, biocompatible titanium-tantalum (Ti-Ta) structures. These unique structures were made by a solid-state processing technique – ‘cold spray’ – and offer a promising solution to manufacturing implantable Ti-Ta structures in a fast and cost-effective way. I am an energetic and creative researcher, hoping to benefit our human society a little bit through my research.
