(one of the 100 leading coatings manufacturers in North America)

2. Education in Corrosion, Chemical Engineering, and Materials Engineering:

B.Eng. Degree in Corrosion and Chemical Engineering (Received at the age of 18)
Nanchang Aeronautical Engineering University, P.R. China

M.Eng. Degree in Corrosion and Materials Engineering, 1986
Institute of Metal Research / Institute of Corrosion and Protection of Metals
Academia Sinica

A joint Ph.D. student in Corrosion and Physical Engineering
Tsing-hua University and Academia Sinica (1986-88)

Ph.D. in Corrosion and Materials Science & Engineering, 1993
McMaster University, Canada.
Centennial Scholar at McMaster University (1988)
The last pupil of  Dr.Walter Smeltzer, one of the world leaders in high temperature corrosion research.

3. Experience in Coatings Industry:

Developed more than 20 high performance, 100% or near 100% solids, high build, fast setting, all temperature cure, polyurethane and epoxy type protective coatings. These coatings are recognized in the industry as the Industrial Coatings of the 21st Century, because of not only their outstanding performance but also their zero or very low VOC's to meet the challenges of environmental protection.

Specializing in the corrosion protection for industries such as underground fuel storage tanks, pipelines (steel, ductile iron, and concrete), power poles, water and wastewater, oil and gas, transportation, and marine applications in North America, with some in the Middle East, Europe and Asia.

Management Representative and Lead Auditor of ISO 9000.

Involvement in education, consulting, and marketing of various coating technologies and products. Examples of these activities include:

• Involvement in the newly published ANSI/AWWA C222 Standard for Polyurethane Coating for the Interior and Exterior of Steel Water Pipelines and Fittings;

• Two feature articles in the July 1997 issue of the Journal of Protective Coatings and Linings and the June/July 1997 issue of Urethane Technology on 100% solids, solventless, UV and color stable, aliphatic polyurethane coatings technology, and various conference presentations on 100% solids coatings technolgoies;

• Developed the new coating technology for protecting underground storage tanks for flammable liquids, resulting in the establishment of UL 1746 Part IV standards, STI ACT100-U standards, and related ULC standards in North America.

4. Experience in Corrosion Study:

The 1st researcher in the field who has proposed a kinetic theory of internal oxidation for ternary alloys;

The 1st researcher who has theoretically described the oxygen solubility behavior as a function of alloying concentrations in a ternary alloy system;

The 1st researcher who has established a criterion for the formation of external protective oxide scales on ternary alloys.

Work shown in Acta Metall. as well as Oxidation of Metals.

Recent work has included field and laboratory analyses for one of the U.S. largest steel pipe manufacturers, as well as the external corrosion of ductile iron pipes.

5. A variety of work experiences in both North America and China:

Assistant to Dr. Changxu Shi, former Vice President of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and  Vice Chairman of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (1986-88).

Involved in the establishment of the Chinese science funding system, the research on middle-term and long-term development strategy of science and technology in China, and the establishment of the Chinese Atmospheric Corrosion Network (1986-88)

Acted as the Executive Chairman and organized the 1st Chinese Youth Materials Scientists' Conference in 1988.

Executive Member of the Toronto Society for Coatings Technology (1998-present).

Currently a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, NACE International, ASTM, the Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology, SSPC, Electrochemistry Society, and the Chinese Professional Association of Canada.

Member, Editorial Advisory Board of the international journal of "Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials"

Industrial Advisor, Corrosion Laboratory, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

6. Internet and computer skills:

A CapeCanaveral Community Leader at Geocities, where personal home pages are hosted free for people around the world.

Webmaster for the Toronto Society for Coatings Technology as well as the webmaster for 3 other internet websites.
