Emerging Topics in Mechanics
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Professor Yonggang Huang
The conference
This workshop hopes to bring together luminaries and emerging scientists to present latest advances in the broad and multidisciplinary field of mechanics.
The workshop is not intended to replicate conventional scientific conferences but will rather focus on lively interactions and discussions centered around the future directions in mechanics. Specifically, the workshop will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Professor Yonggang Huang who has made lasting contributions to this field.
Dr. Yonggang Huang
Yonggang Huang grew up in a family of mechanicians. His father Keh-Chih Hwang, a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences, is a professor of solid mechanics at Tsinghua University. Yonggang has two uncles who are mechanicians, one (a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering) on structural mechanics at Tsinghua University and another on fluid mechanics at Peking University. Yonggang is always introduced as “Prof. Hwang’s son” in China even nowadays.
