Professional Summary

Dr. Donglu  Shi conducted his dissertation research on superconducting critical current density of metallic superconductors (Nb3Al, Nb3Si,  Nb3Sn) under high magnetic field (23 T) at MIT Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory. His research dealt with design of alloys, melt spinning, structural transformations, crystallization mechanisms, mechanical and physical properties of rapidly solidified metallic glasses (Fe-Ni-B) and A-15 superconductors. After receiving PhD, he moved on to study high-temperature ceramic superconductors as a Staff Scientist (first year as postdoc) in the Materials Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory for a period of eight years. His research efforts were focused on investigating the vortex state dynamics and flux pinning mechanisms of type II superconducting materials for achieving high critical current density in energy storage and power transmission. At Argonne, he served as a Principal Investigator for a Department of Energy program focused on electronic materials during this time.

Dr. Donglu Shi served as the Chair and Graduate Director of Materials Science and Engineering between 2013 and 2023. He is currently the Director of Energy Materials and Nanomedicine Laboratories in the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Dr. Shi has conducted research across diverse fields such as nanoscience, energy materials, biomedical engineering, precision medicine, and condensed matter physics. His efforts have led to over 300 peer-reviewed journal publications, with some of his works appearing in leading journals like Nature, Physical Review Letters, Advanced Materials, and ACS Nano. His scholarly contributions have earned him a Google Scholar h-index of 74. He was a visiting scholar at  Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Grenoble, France and a Fellow at Fitzwilliam CollegeUniversity of Cambridge conducting research on high-Tc superconducitng RF resonators for wireless telecommunications. Additionally, Dr. Shi is a Fellow of ASM International and a Graduate College Fellow at the University of Cincinnati. He has so far supervised a total of 50 graduate students.
