MSU faculty elected full member of the IISS
January 16, 2007
The International Institute for the Science of Sintering (IISS) announced that Dr. Seong Jin Park has been elected as a full member of the institute for his outstanding accomplishments in developing sintering modeling and simulation with material characterization.
Dr. Park is working at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS), Mississippi State University, as Associate research Professor and Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He has 30 journal papers, 92 conference papers and presentations, 3 books, and 3 patents.
Before joining CAVS in 2005, he held position at the Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Park received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), South Korea in 1996.
Election to the IISS is among the highest professional distinctions awarded a scientist or an engineer. One of the purposes of the IISS is to promote fundamental achievements in the theory, science and technology of sintering, as well as in the related fields of materials science, physics and chemistry of solids, interphase physical chemistry, and other fundamental sciences for research of the sintering process. It is awarded to those who have made “important contributions to engineering theory and practice, including significant contributions to the literature of engineering” as well as the “demonstration of unusual accomplishments in the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology.”
Dr. Park was elected along with 7 other full member and 6 corresponding members, bringing the Institute’s total membership to 136.
