| Submission declined on 3 September 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. Declined by Pythoncoder 25 days ago. | |
| Submission declined on 31 August 2025 by Prince of Erebor (talk). This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Prince of Erebor 29 days ago. | |
Comment: I have removed much of the irrelevant fluff and peacock, see WP:PEACOCK. Thus is not the place for an extended CV, just major details.IMPORTANT this appears to be autobiographical. Please read WP:COI carefully Ldm1954 (talk) 13:06, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Alan Aihua Luo (Chinese name 罗爱华) is an American engineer and educator specializing in advanced materials and manufacturing. He is currently the Donald D. Glower Chair in Engineering, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Integrated Systems Engineering (Manufacturing) at The Ohio State University (OSU).[1] Luo is leading the Lightweight Materials and Manufacturing Research Laboratory (LMMRL) and is Director of the Advanced Casting Research Center (ACRC) at OSU.[2] He is also a technical leader in the REMADE (Reducing EMbodied-Energy And Decreasing Emissions) Institute.[3]
In 2023, Luo was elected to the National Academy of Engineering "for the implementation of lightweight aluminum, magnesium, and titanium materials and advanced manufacturing processes for automotive applications".[4]
Biography
[edit]Luo was born in Anhui, China in 1964. Luo received his Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering from Anhui Polytechnic University in 1984, and Master of Engineering degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology in 1987.[5][6] He pursued his PhD research on advanced aluminum alloys at the University of Windsor in Canada and obtained his PhD in Engineering Materials in 1993.[7]
After his PhD, Luo went to industry to design lightweight alloys and develop manufacturing processes for the automotive industry. He was a GM Technical Fellow at General Motors Research and Development Center with 20 years of industrial experience.[8]
In 2013, Luo joined the Departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Integrated Systems Engineering at The Ohio State University as a tenured full professor.[9][10] He has been awarded the Donald D. Glower Chair in Engineering since 2023 for his research and teaching focusing on transportation.[11]
Research
[edit]Luo uses classical thermodynamics and CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) modeling in designing new aluminum, magnesium and lightweight high entropy alloys.[12] His computational thermodynamics tools have been coupled with kinetic models to simulate manufacturing processes (casting, welding and additive manufacturing) to optimize alloy design and processing of multi-component systems for improved mechanical and corrosion properties.[13] Luo has applied the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, kinetics, solidification, thermomechanical processing in developing new and innovative processes for lightweight alloys and composites.[14] For these innovations, he received the 2023 TMS Research to Industrial Practice Award.[15]
