Dr. Youqing Fei
yfei@utsi.edu
Dr. Fei earned a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Dalian University of Technology in Dalian, China, in 1984. His master’s degree and Ph.D., both in Materials Science, were earned at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan in 1988 and 1991 respectively.
His 15 years of experience in research and development of advanced carbon fibers and composites have included serving as director of Fiber Technology and Products with the MER Corporation in Tucson, Ariz. As senior staff engineer with ConocoPhillips in Ponca City, Okla., Fei has developed solutions to varied challenges for current and “next generation” technologies.
As senior program manager at Harper International in Buffalo, N.Y., Fei was responsible for developing new processing technologies for large-scale production of carbon fibers. Other experience included his being a member of the research staff at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, and a research scientist at University of Kentucky’s Center for Applied Energy Research. As a post-doctoral Fellow, he led and managed projects funded by the Department of Energy and Oak Ridge National Laboratory on multi-dimensional carbon fibers and reinforced carbon composites for nuclear fusion applications.
Fei is a member of the American Chemical Society, American Carbon Society and the Carbon Society of Japan. He has authored nearly 50 papers in journals and conference proceedings and a chapter in a book and holds several patents. |
