Yunzhi Wang awarded the 2024 William Hume-Rothery Award
Professor Yunzhi Wang has been selected to receive the 2024 William Hume-Rothery Award. The award is presented by TMS to "an outstanding scientific leader in recognition of exceptional contributions to the science of alloys."1
Yunzhi Wang has been an instructor with the Department of Materials Science and Engineering since 1996. His career-long development of computational techniques is focused on the pursuit of ever-increasing realism at representing materials in the computational environment. Being a principal developer and practitioner, he is at the forefront of advancing the phase field method, diffusive molecular dynamics (DMD) and heterogeneously randomized STZ dynamics. Professor Wang and his research students work closely with software companies to develop computational design tools for industrial applications.2 He was ranked in the top 2% of scientists worldwide by Elsevier in 2021.
Professor Wang will be awarded at the TMS-AIME Awards Ceremony in Orlando, Florida during the TMS 2024 Annual Meeting. As a recipient of this award, Yunzhi is invited to arrange or co-arrange a Hume-Rothery Memorial Symposium or session to be held in conjunction with the TMS 2024 Annual Meeting.
