Long-Qing Chen received B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, all in materials science and engineering, from Zhejiang University, Stony Brook University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, respectively. He has been teaching thermodynamics of materials and kinetics of materials at Penn State since 1992 and is currently the Donald W. Hamer Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, and Professor of Mathematics. He has published over 600 papers in the area of thermodynamics, kinetics, and computational modeling of materials processes and microstructure evolution in structural alloys, functional ceramics, energy materials, and polymer-based composites. Prof. Chen is the Editor-in-Chief for npj Computational Materials published by Springer Nature. He is a fellow of several major professional materials societies including Materials Research Society (MRS), The Metals, Minerals and Materials (TMS) Society, the American Ceramic Society (ACerS), and American Society for Metals (ASM) International as well as a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He has received many awards for his research including the 2014 MRS Materials Theory Award, the Humboldt Prize, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. See less
