Biography:
Shoufeng Yang is a Full Professor in KU Leuven, Belgium, and a Chair Professor at the University of Southampton, UK, where he is leading Additive Manufacturing research activities. His main research interests are the next generation of additive manufacturing, in which both the materials composition and the shape of objects are computer controlled throughout three dimensional space. He has published more than 110 papers and is a top cited researcher in Additive Manufacturing/Rapid Prototyping/3D Printing in Google Scholar with H-index 31 and total citations>5900. His single paper citation is >2900. A few of his papers have been listed as 1% Highly Cited Paper by Essential Science Indicators℠. He has pioneered the development and application of a novel dry powder dispensing technology for multiple materials additive manufacturing (MMAM). Wide range of materials can be dispensed including metal, polymer and ceramic. This project was selected for prestigious Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition (royalsociety.org/From-music-to-sand-painting/). He is also a Visiting Professor in the NTU Additive Manufacturing Centre in Nanyang Technological University Singapore. He is on the Editorial Board of 8 international journals including Virtual and Physical Prototyping, as well as being a founding member of the International Journal of Bioprinting and an Associate Editor of the Journal of 3D Printing in Medicine.
