Peng Wenyi, Professor, Doctoral/Postdoctoral Supervisor, and Candidate of Jiangxi Provincial New Century Hundred-Thousand-Ten Thousand Talents Project. She once served as Secretary-General of the Organizing Committee of the 12th National Academic Conference on Solid State Phase Transformation, Solidification and Applications, and Chair of the Session of the 13th IUMRS-ICA2012 (International Union of Materials Research Societies - International Conference on Advanced Materials). She obtained her Bachelor's degree and Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Master's degree from Shanghai University. She has long been engaged in basic research and application development of the microstructure, properties and phase transformation of metal materials. She has presided over and completed multiple national, provincial and ministerial projects such as National Natural Science Foundation of China projects and Key Scientific Research Projects of the Ministry of Education, as well as horizontal projects with enterprises. She is a reviewer for many international and domestic journals including Journal of Materials Science & Technology, Surface Technology and Applied Physics Letters; and a member of the expert database for evaluating scientific and technological projects of multiple ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. "Application of Multi-arc Ion Plating on Tools and Molds" and "Plasma Surface Strengthening Technology for Tantalum Spinnerets" have won Jiangxi Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award and Technological Invention Award respectively; she has applied for more than 20 invention patents, obtained 16 authorized patents, 3 of which have been industrialized; and formulated 2 standards. She has published more than 100 academic papers in domestic and foreign academic journals including SCI top journals such as Corrosion Science and Journal of Materials Science & Technology, with more than 60 papers included in SCI and EI. She has won one Second Prize of Jiangxi Provincial Teaching Achievement. The graduate students guided by her have won Excellent Master's and Doctoral Dissertations of Jiangxi Province many times. She has guided more than 100 undergraduates, master's students, doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows who have completed their dissertations or postdoctoral research, and they have become backbones in governments, enterprises and institutions, scientific research institutions and listed companies.

Her main research fields include: Theory and practice of toughening technology (such as microalloying, heat treatment, surface strengthening, etc.) for metal materials (such as steel, non-ferrous alloys including copper alloys, superalloys, high-entropy alloys, etc.), as well as metal functional materials (such as temperature-controlled and magnetically controlled shape memory alloys).
