Harry at The Institute of Metals Research (IMR), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang, China


Harry Bhadeshia visited the IMR Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenyang to deliver the Lee Hsun Lecture during April 2019, kindly hosted by Professor Dian-zhong Li. Many of the arrangements were made by Dr Shuyan Li who is the Head of the Foreign Affairs Office at IMR. Travelled from the Wuhan University of Science and Technology to Shenyang with Professor Wu Kaiming.

With Professor Li YiYi, who was the Director of the IMR for more than 8 years, and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences		 Harry Bhadeshia, Institute of Metals Research, Shenyang, China, IMR, metallurgy, physical metallurgy, university of cambridge
Professor Li YiYi is also the sister-in-law of the late Professor T. Ko, who with S. A. Cottrell was the first to establish, while at Birmingham University (UK) that the bainite transformation causes a shape deformation that has a large shear component, whereas pearlite does not [J I S I 172 (1952) 307-313].
