Heterostructured Metals

Amit Misra is the Edward DeMille Campbell Collegiate Professor of Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) at the University of Michigan (UM), Ann Arbor. He served as MSE Department Chair at UM from 2014-2022. Prior to joining UM in 2014, he worked for nearly 18 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). He received is PhD (MSE) degree from University of Michigan in 1994 and Bachler’s (Metallurgical Engineering from IT-BHU (now IIT-Varanasi), India. His research expertise includes metallic materials processing by physical vapor deposition, laser additive manufacturing and deformation processing, small-scale mechanical testing and characterization using scanning and transmission electron microscopy including in situ nanomechanics. He is a Fellow of TMS, MRS, ASM-International, AAAS and LANL, and was recognized with TMS Cyril Stanley Smith Award, TMS Brimacombe Medalist, TMS-MPMD Distinguished Scientist/Engineer Award; and TMS-MPMD Distinguished Service Award. Jian Wang is a Fellow of ASME, a Fellow of ASM International, and Wilmer J. and Sally L. Hergenrader Presidential Chair Professor of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA. He received his Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in 2006, and worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) until 2015. His research focuses on quantitatively exploring the structure-properties relations of materials using multi-scale theory, modeling, and experimental methods and techniques. He was awarded the LANL Distinguished Postdoctoral Performance Award (2009), the LDRD/Early Career Award (2011), TMS MPMD Young Leader Award (2013), the International Plasticity Young Research Award (2015), Materials Today Rising Star Award in the category of Materials Genome Innovation (2018), TMS MPMD Distinguished Scientist Award (2022) and TMS BRIMACOMBE MEDALIST Award (2023). He served on the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Plasticity (2015~), Materials Research Letters (2016~), and others.
