Biography
Dr Jiawa Lu obtained her bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in 2012 through a 2+2 programme in both University of Nottingham Ningbo and UK campuses. Afterwards, she was given the Institution Best Student Certificate and awarded the Dean of Engineering Research Scholarship for International Excellence 2012 to fund her PhD study. She obtained her PhD in mechanical engineering in 2016, and the topic is about multi-scaling modelling of the cyclic plasticity behaviour of metals by finite element method. Dr Jiawa Lu joined the University of Nottingham Ningbo China as the assistant professor in mechanics of solids in 2016. She is currently interested in the studying the mechanical and degradation behaviour of composites
