中文摘要：

Lei Lu received her Ph.D from Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2000. Lu is a junior professor in the fracture and fatigue division at Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science （SYNL）, Institute of Metal Research. She was a visiting scientist at Massachusetts institute of Technology from 2003-2004 and 2008. Her main research interests involve the synthesis-microstructure-property correlations for the nano-structured materials, work of which she was awarded the “Top Prize of the President Scholarship of CAS” （The Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2000） and “Hundred Excellent Ph.D Dissertation in China” in 2002. She has authored and co-authored more than 40 scientific publications, including in the journals of Science, Acta Mater., Scripta Mater., and translated one book. She has extensively investigated on the microstructure and mechanical properties of metallic materials with nano-scale twins. Within the National Natural Science Foundation of China, she is presently directing a “National Science Foundation for Outstanding Youth” project on the mechanical properties of nano-structured materials.E-mail： llu@imr.ac.cn.
