Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jiqiang Hu | Surface Chemistry | Research Excellence Award

Harbin Institute of Technology | China

Jiqiang Hu is an Associate Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at the Institute of Composite Materials and Structures, School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Harbin Institute of Technology. His research focuses on the development, performance characterization, and engineering application of lightweight polymer and fiber-reinforced composites for aerospace and advanced structural applications. He specializes in interfacial modification strategies, damage and fracture mechanics, and thermomechanical behavior of thermoplastic composites such as CF/PPS, CF/PEEK, and carbon nanofiber-reinforced systems. Dr. Hu’s work integrates advanced experimental techniques with multiscale theoretical modeling and numerical methods, including FFT-based frameworks and non-local elastic–plastic damage models, to understand structure–property relationships and failure mechanisms. His research has led to significant improvements in interlaminar shear strength, fracture toughness, and interfacial adhesion through surface functionalization and molecular-level design. He has published over 20 SCI papers in leading journals such as Composites Part B, Composites Science and Technology, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, and ACS Applied Nano Materials. As principal investigator, he has led multiple projects funded by national foundations and postdoctoral programs, contributing to high-performance composite technologies for next-generation aerospace structures.
