Xiaojun Xu studied Materials science and engineering at the Southwest Jiaotong University and obtained his MSc. in 2011 after completing his graduation project (obtaining his Bachelor degree) at the Nanchang Hangkong University in 2008. He then joined the Novel aerospace materials (Novam) group of Aerospace engineering Faculty at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and studied the effect of microstructure on abrasion resistance of low alloyed construct steel. He obtained his PhD in 2016.01. Upon completion of his position of Ph.D. candidate, he worked as a post-doc in the Novam group of TU Delft till May of 2016. After then, he moved to Ghent Univeristy (Belgium) for short-term post-doc to study tribology in steel. In Apr. 2017, he joined Southwest Jiaotong University and worked extensively on the structure-property-performance relations in metal (steel), and was appointed Assoc. professor in the field of Microstructural Control and Abrasion in Metals. His research focused on microstructure/phase transformation/property in steel, the abrasive behavior of metal/ design of abrasion resistant steel as well as the performance evaluation.
