Xinghang Zhang, Professor of Materials Engineering

I am deeply honored to be recognized for this prestigious award. My involvement with TMS started 15 years ago and I have organized several TMS symposia over the years since 2005. Organizing these symposia has been a great learning experience. Throughout the years, TMS has been a major media for communication of my research findings with colleagues around the world. I get to know a large number of outstanding colleagues from academia, national labs, and industry both nationally and internationally. This is a great organization to establih our research and social network. I look forward to being actively involved in TMS for many years to come.
