Mingming Tong

Biography

Dr. Mingming Tong is a full time Lecture in Mechanical Engineering at the College of Engineering and Informatics of NUI Galway, and he is also the associate member of Brunel Centre for Advanced Solidification Technology (BCAST) in London. Following a B.Sc in Physics from the Beijing Institute of Technology (1998), Dr. Tong was awarded the degree of D. Phil. (Materials Engineering) from the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2004 for his research on computational modelling the solid state phase transformation of steels. Between 2004 and 2016, he took two separate periods of employment at the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering of University College Dublin, where he worked as research staff conducting and coordinating extensive research activities as well as taking teaching duties in the field of materials processing and thermodynamics. From 2008 to 2010, Dr. Tong worked in the froth flotation research group at the Department of Earth Science and Engineering of Imperial College London, conducting research activities in the fields of foams and bubbles. In late 2016, he started working at NUI Galway as a Lecture in Mechanical Engineering. After the long term collaboration with BCAST (Brunel University) in R & D activities, Dr. Tong started to take the roll of Associate Member of BCAST at the end of 2016.
