About

Dr. Xianglin Huang

Dr. Huang received his Ph.D. from the University of Manchester (2024) under Prof. Q.M. Li, where he developed foundational data-driven methods for dynamic material characterization. His trilogy of papers in the International Journal of Impact Engineering — rigorously verifying the Johnson-Cook equation and establishing ANN+SVD/CP frameworks for flow stress determination — forms the core of his academic identity in impact dynamics.

Currently at KAIST and Dongguk University, he applies this expertise to lithium-ion battery impact safety — characterizing failure modes, developing deep learning frameworks for real-time damage detection, and investigating multiphysics pack stability. Impact dynamics and constitutive modeling remain the core research identity; battery safety is the current application domain where mechanical expertise drives new contributions.
