Personal Statement
Xichun is a Professor in ultra precision manufacturing at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow). Currently he supervises 2 Post-doctors, 8 PhDs. He obtained his PhD at Leeds Metropolitan University (UK) . From 2004 to 2007, he worked at Cranfield University as a research officer and delivered the world leading research in ultra precision diamond turning and grinding of freeform optics. From 2007 to 2012 he was a lecturer at Heriot-Watt University. From 2012 to 2013 he was a Reader in ultra precision manufacturing at the University of Huddersfield where he leads an Advanced Machining Research Group. He has established an international reputation in ultra precision diamond turning and grinding of freeform optics and nanomanufacturing research, as evidenced by more than 100+ papers in peer-reviewed highly ranked journals and international conferences, his contribution to one book and one invited book chapter (Microfabrication and Nanomanufacturing), one opening oral presentation on ASPE international conference, 20+ invited talks at top precision engineering research institutes and companies (including Fraunhofer IPT & IIT). He received funding from EPSRC, EC, SFC, ROE and industries (Renishaw, STMicroeletronics, Spanoptic, etc.). He is selected as Scottish Crucibles by Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2010.
