Qiuming Wei

Qiuming Wei is a Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, holding a PhD from North Carolina State University (1998). His research focuses on the mechanics of materials, specifically deformation instability, adiabatic shear localization, and dynamic recrystallization in high entropy alloys and magnesium alloys. Recent work includes a unified model for deformation instability based on energy inflection (2024) and in-situ studies of recrystallization and phase transformation-induced twinning in titanium and Mg alloys. He received an NSF MRI award (2008) for an analytical transmission electron microscope. Wei collaborates extensively with institutions across the US, China, Japan, and Europe, including the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University, and Osaka University.
