Prof. Huang is the 3rd Taiwanese fellow of the ACerS during the past 100 years.
The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) is a non-profit professional organization for the ceramics community, with a focus on scientific research, emerging technologies, and current applications in which ceramic materials are a key element. It is located in Westerville, Ohio.
It currently comprises more than 7,500 members from 80 countries, with membership including engineers, scientists, researchers, manufacturers, plant personnel, educators, students, and marketing and sales representatives. As one of the most prominent professional organizations in the international materials science circle, most of the fellows are senior professionals in the US ceramic field. Each year, it only elects a few internationally renowned ceramic experts as fellows.
Prof. Huang obtained his Ph.D. from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Utah, USA, in 1983, and worked in the industry in the US before he came back to Taiwan to further his career in the academia. Prof. Huang’s specialized areas are ceramics and coating technology, including structural ceramics, ferroelectric and dielectric ceramics, mechanical properties of ceramics, thin film coating, microstructural analysis, nano materials, optical materials, materials design and processing, composites (CMC, MMC), semiconducting materials, and functional ceramics, etc.
