Xianglong Wang is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering at McGill University. His research mainly focuses on the microstructure and mechanical properties characterization of stainless steel 316L produced by laser powder bed fusion process. He received his bachelor’s degree in Welding Science and Technology from Harbin Institute of Technology in China in 2015, working on laser-TIG hybrid welding of ultra-high strength steel. Xianglong then joined the Powder Processing and Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Materials Laboratory as a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Professor Mathieu Brochu to pursue his interest in additive manufacturing.
