Summary
Nan Hu is an associate professor and materials scientist with eight years of post-PhD experience focused on biomedical metallic materials, especially titanium-based alloys for implants. Trained at Central South University and the University of Southampton, she combines materials science, electrochemistry and biology to study microstructure, mechanical and surface properties of metals processed by severe plastic deformation. Her work on anodization behavior of ultrafine-grained Ti aims to improve both bulk and surface performance for medical applications, reflecting a strong translation orientation from lab to device. She has progressed from hands-on lab roles and instrument stewardship (DSC) to independent academic leadership and teaching, with experience securing funded projects and supervising award-winning students. Based in Shenzhen, she brings international research experience across UK and Chinese institutes and a practical industrial perspective from earlier internships. A distinctive strength is her interdisciplinary experimental design—bridging surface engineering and biocompatibility—to tackle real-world implant challenges.
