Dalong Zhang joined the Applied Materials and Manufacturing group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory as a materials scientist after postdoctoral training at Oak Ridge National Laboratory working on nuclear materials, particularly FeCrAl-based accident-tolerant fuel cladding materials. Dr. Zhang obtained his PhD in materials science and engineering at the University of California, Davis in 2016, and a BS in material physics at Wuhan University, China, in 2011. He has extensive experience in microstructural characterization using advanced electron microscopy techniques and atom probe tomography, as well as a fundamental understanding of the processing-microstructure-property relationship, particularly as it relates to solid-phase processing and severe plastic deformation techniques. He is currently leading projects on the advanced manufacturing of oxide dispersion-strengthened steels, funded by the Department of Energy’s Fusion Energy Sciences and Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy programs.
