Biography
Dr. Peihao Song is a postdoctoral researcher in the Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering Group at the University of Oxford. He completed his BEng at the University of Nottingham in 2017 and an MSc in Advanced Composite Materials from Imperial College London in 2019. He pursued his DPhil in Engineering Science at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Professor Clive Siviour.
His research centers on the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of polymeric materials, with a particular emphasis on their behavior under high strain rate deformation. He leverages advanced techniques, including split Hopkinson bar testing integrated with high-speed optical imaging, infrared thermography, and X-ray imaging, to explore the thermomechanical properties of engineering plastics and their composites.
