Xianfeng Zhang is a Professor at the School of Mechanical Engineering in Nanjing University of Science and Technology. Following his PhD (Nanjing University, 2005), Dr. Zhang worked at the University of Science and Technology of China, Fraunhofer Institute of Mechanics of Materials in Germany, and Nanyang Technology University in Singapore as a postdoctoral researcher. His research interest is focused on dynamic behaviour of materials such as energetic structural materials, ceramics, concrete, rocks, and new alloy materials. He is a committee member of the China Ordnance Society and Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering. He is also a member of the editorial board of the Chinese Journal of Ordnance Equipment Engineering. He has published over 90 research papers in international journals and conference proceedings Dr. Wei Xiong is an associate professor at School of Mechanical Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology. She received her PhD in Nanjing University of Science and Technology in 2019. She has been to the University of Liverpool in 2016 as a one-year visiting student, sponsored by Chinese Scholarship Council. She has so far worked on the shock dynamics, especially on dynamic behaviors and applications of Energetic Structural Materials for about 10 years. Her work is now supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China. She has published a book and over 8 research papers in international journals and conference proceedings.
