Prof. WANG Jingyang, Head of the Advanced Ceramics and Composites Division of Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science (SYNL) received "ACerS Global Ambassador Award" from the American Ceramics Society (ACerS).

Prof. Wang has focused over 15 years on research activities in the area of materials science of advanced engineering ceramics. He is internationally recognized for his scientific contributions and leadership in high-throughput materials design and modeling, novel methods for processing bulk, low-dimensional and porous ceramic materials, and multi-scale structure-property relationship of high-performance structural ceramics. His contributions have been recognized on many scientific advisory boards and committees of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS) and the American Society of Metals International (ASM Int.). Prof. Wang serves on the International Advisory Board of UK CAFFE consortium (University of Cambridge, Imperial College London and University of Manchester) on ceramics for nuclear applications. He also served as the volume editor of Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings and is the book editor of Developments in Strategic Materials and Computational Design, both published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., and is the Executive editor of Journal of Materials Science and Technology published by Elsevier.

Professor Wang's scientific career has also been recognized with many awards and honors, including ASM-IIM Visiting Lecturer Award in 2016, Distinguished Professor of CAS Distinguished Research Fellow Program from Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2016, National Leading Talent of Young and Middle-aged Scientist Award from the Ministry of Science and Technology of China in 2015, DisLate Shri Sardar Pratap Singh Memorial Award from the Indian Ceramic Society in 2015, JACerS Author Loyalty Recognition Award in 2014 and the Global Star Award Society in 2012 from the ACerS, Second Prize in 2012 and First Prize in 2011 for Science and Technology Progress Award from China and First Prize for Natural Science Award from Liaoning Province in 2005.

Founded in 1899, the ACerS is a non-profit professional organization for the ceramics community, with a focus on scientific research, emerging technologies, and applications in which ceramic materials are an element. The Global Ambassador Program recognizes dedicated ACerS scientists worldwide who demonstrate exceptional leadership and/or service that benefit the Society, the global ceramics and glass community.
