Prof. Nguyen Quang Chinh, Doctor of Science (DSc) from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS), graduated in Physics from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) in 1985. Since then he has been working in various fields of materials science. His recent main research topics are: i) Plastic behavior and strengthening mechanisms of metals and alloys, ii) Microstructural and mechanical characteristics of ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline materials, iii) Development of the depth sensing indentation method. He participated in many international collaborations. Currently he is the leader of the Hungarian group in a joint project with Russian researchers entitled “Study of the physical nature and development of ultra-low-temperature superplasticity in ultrafine-grained Al alloys for innovative applications”.
