We are pleased to invite you to join our scientific webinar lecture series featuring prof. Suk-Joong L. Kang, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea Institute of Advanced Science and Technology.

Prof. Kang will be sharing his expertise on the topic of “Sintering” and “Sintering: densification, grain growth and microstructure”.

As a distinguished guest at FunGlass Centre from 15 April, 2024 until 15 May, 2024, prof. Suk-Joong L. Kang will be delivering a series of enlightening lectures that promise to be of great interest to students researchers alike. These lectures will be streamed on line via MS Teams platform (for invited audience) on the following days:

1. Wednesday, April 17 - 2:00p.m. – 4:00 p.m., CET (break included): Basis of Sintering Science I.

Professor Suk-Joong L. Kang is Professor Emeritus of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea Institute of Advanced Science and Technology. Before joining KICET in 2015, he was a Distinguished Professor of the Department of MSE at KAIST. He also served as a Visiting Professor at the Stuttgart Max Planck Institute, at Samsung Electromechanics, at the University of New South Wales, and at the University of Tokyo.

Prof. Kang has published more than 300 papers on sintering and microstructural evolution in ceramics and metals. He is the author of the text Sintering: Densification, Grain Growth and Microstructure, published in 2005. He developed the “Pore Filling Theory” of liquid phase sintering. Since the late 1990’s, Dr. Kang has particularly contributed to the understanding of microstructural evolution by structural transition and defect formation at interfaces. He introduced the concept of the mixed control of boundary migration, and deduced the principle of microstructural evolution.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to expand your knowledge and interact with a leading expert in the field of materials science. We look forward to welcoming you to our webinar lecture series!

The webinar is organized as a part of dissemination activities under the Horizon Europe project “GlaCerHub”.
