Biography
Prof. Bo Wu is a Full Professor (Level-2) at Fuzhou University, specializing in computational materials science and advanced metallic materials. He received his Ph.D. in Nonferrous Metallurgy in 2002 from the University of Science and Technology Beijing in collaboration with the General Research Institute for Nonferrous Metals. Following his doctoral studies, Prof. Wu conducted postdoctoral research in Germany at the Max Planck Institute for Metal Research and the University of Kassel, focusing on first-principles calculations, CALPHAD modeling, and multiscale materials simulation. Since 2007, he has been a full professor at Fuzhou University, where his research spans Multiscale Integrated Computational Materials Science and Engineering (ICME), AI-driven materials design, high-entropy and multi-principal element alloys, and functional inorganic materials. His work emphasizes predictive modeling of material properties, catalytic mechanisms, and structure–property relationships. Prof. Wu has authored numerous influential publications in leading journals such as Applied Surface Science, Nano Energy, and Journal of Alloys and Compounds. He is an active reviewer and guest editor in the field of computational materials science and has contributed significantly to advancing materials genome approaches and simulation-driven materials discovery.
