Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tao Lai | Machining Awards | Best Researcher Award

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tao Lai , National University of Defense Technology , China

Lai Tao, born in 1991, is an associate professor at the National University of Defense Technology, specializing in informatization and intelligent equipment development, including precision strike, observation, and early warning systems. He completed his PhD in 2021 and focuses on ultraprecision measurement technology for nano-precision shape-control and performance control manufacturing of optically complex surfaces. Lai Tao has innovated a new method for nano-precision profile measurement of optical elements and developed a high-precision guideway with 20nm straightness. He established an error model for optical surface profile coordinate measurement systems and developed a Cartesian coordinate nano-precision complex surface profile measurement machine. This machine aids in the nano-precision manufacturing of aluminum mirrors with complex curved surfaces and measures high-precision shape and position errors in components like strong light optics and X-ray mandrels. Over the past five years, he has published 16 SCI papers, including 11 high-quality ones, and has been active in international academic conferences, including ATAMI 2022 and SMSE 2022.
