PhD is Metallurgical Engineering from University of Utah and post-doc from WMG, Warwick. Assistant Professor at IIT Kanpur since September 2021. performs research on high-temperature chemical kinetics, mould fluxes, alterative ironmaking and refractories among other topics.

Dr. Xiao Yang is an experienced extractive metallurgist with 15+ years of research experience in the field. He received his B.S. from Beihang University in 2003, M. S. from Institute of Process Engineering-CAS in 2006, and Ph.D. in Metallurgical Engineering from The University of Tokyo in 2009. He has served as a research associate at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan, a researcher at Shasteel Group, a research assistant professor at Kyoto University, a research fellow at The University of Texas at Austin, a visiting professor at Yonsei University, and an assistant professor at The University of Tokyo. Xiao joined Westlake University in 2020. His research is focused on developing smart extraction technologies for pure chemical elements through the utilization of molten salts.

The author majored in the iron ore sintering process as a master's degree in an ironmaking research laboratory in GIFT in POSTECH, South Korea. The topic of research for Molten 2024 was conducted with a research project from POSCO. He is now doing a Ph.D. course in the same laboratory, focusing on research about hydrogen reduction of low-grade iron ore through a fluidized bed reactor.
