Novel Colloidal Forming of Ceramics

Prof. Jinlong Yang received his Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering from Tsinghua University in 1996 and was a postdoc at the Department of Materials at Switzerland Federal University of Technology from 1999 to 2000. He became an Associate Professor at Tsinghua University in 1999 and was promoted to full Professor in 2004. He has been a Special-Engaged Professor and Director of the CNU’s Laboratory of Advanced Ceramic Preparation since 2006.Prof. Yang’s research fields include structured ceramics, ceramic matrix composites, colloidal forming of ceramics, porous ceramics and ceramic microbeads. He received the second-class National Technology Invention Award for a research program by the State Council, P. R. China, and the “Science and Technology Advancement Prize,” awarded by the Ministry of Education and the Government of Beijing, for other five programs. He has published more than 280 papers and holds more than 130 state patents for inventions. Prof. Yong Huang is currently a retired Professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Tsinghua University. He graduated from Tsinghua University in 1962 and has been engaged in inorganic nonmetallic material teaching and research for many years. He was a Visiting Scholar at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan, U.S.A, a research scientist at the Material Center of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in America, a Visiting Professor at the Advanced Technology Institute of Zurich in Switzerland and was also involved in cooperative research with the University of Monash in Australia.Prof. Huang’s research interests include the composition, structure, and performance of advanced ceramics, as well as the preparation of high-performance ceramics and the strengthening mechanisms. He has received awards including the second-class National Technology Invention Award for a research program by the State Council, P. R. China, and “Science and Technology Advancement Prize” for other nine programs awarded by the Ministry of Education and the Government of Beijing, Fujian Province. He has published more than 400 papers and was received a national excellent textbook award and the first-class award for excellent textbook for building materials. He was named an excellent teacher of Beijing, and advanced person of the State Plan for Development of Basic Research, and was the winner of special government grant.
