Huibin Xu, male, born in July 1959 in Da'an, Jilin Province, is a professor at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He belongs to the first group of recipients of the "National Outstanding Young Scientists Fund", is a "Changjiang Scholar Distinguished Professor" appointed by the Ministry of Education and was included in the "National Talent Project". He graduated from Fuxin Mining Academy in 1982, majoring in mechanics and metal materials, and studied in Germany from 1985 to 1987, where he received his master's degree from Clausthal University of Technology and his doctorate from Berlin University of Technology in 1992. From 1992 to 1993, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich. In September 1993, he returned to China and joined the Materials Science and Engineering Department of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, where he held various positions including Head of Department, Dean of the School of Materials Science, Vice President and Executive Vice President of the University. In 2010, he received the He Liang He Li Metallurgical Material Technology Award and was elected a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2011. In March 2015, he was appointed President of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
During his time in Germany, Xu Huibin, together with his doctoral supervisor Professor Müller, revealed the true nature of hysteresis in thermoelastic martensite phase transitions, which became known in professional circles as the "Müller-Xu One-Dimensional Thermodynamic Theory of Ideal Pseudoelasticity" and had significant international influence. After returning to Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1993, he devoted himself to scientific research, technical application and talent cultivation in the fields of novel shape memory alloys, thermal barrier coatings and magnetostrictive materials adapted to the requirements of national defense equipment. He led more than 20 major national (defense) projects, achieved significant innovative results and found application in China's advanced weapon systems. He has received one national first-class and one second-class technology invention award, four provincial and ministerial first-class scientific and technological awards (each as lead author), held over 80 patents, published more than 200 SCI-indexed articles, two of which have been cited over 200 times each, and supervised more than 30 master's and doctoral students, including one national best doctoral thesis award winner and one nomination award winner. Xu Huibin's research team was recognized as a "National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Team" in 2008 and as an "Innovative Research Group" by the National Natural Science Foundation in 2009.
