Most recently he was selected a Jefferson Science Fellow by the U.S. National Academies and served as a Senior Science Advisor in the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C. Professor Suryanarayana is on the editorial boards of several prestigious materials science journals. He has received several awards for his research contributions to nonequilibrium processing of materials including the Young Scientist Medal of the Indian National Science Academy the Pandya Silver Medal of the Indian Institute of Metals the National Metallurgists Day Award of the Government of India the Distinguished Alumnus Award of Banaras Hindu University and the Lee Hsun Research Award from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was also awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in Engineering by the Central Florida Engineers and the Lifetime Achievement award in Electron Microscopy by the Electron Microscope Society of India. Thomson Reuters has announced in 2011 that Professor Suryanarayana was one of the top 40 researchers in the field of materials science in the world who achieved the highest citation impact scores for their papers published since January 2000. Most recently TMS the premier materials society of the US has awarded him the 2016 Educator Award. He is a Fellow of ASM International Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining London United Kingdom and the Electron Microscope Society of India. He earned his BE in metallurgy from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore and his MS and PhD in physical metallurgy from Banaras Hindu University Varanasi India. A. Inoue PhD is an Emeritus Professor Tohoku University and has conducted research investigations on rapidly solidified glassy alloys; nanocrystalline alloys for engineering applications; iron and steel metallurgy; metallic glasses; superconductivity; and synthesis characterization and commercialization of metallic glasses in general and bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) in particular. He has pioneered the field of BMGs through systematic synthesis characterization and applications for the past 25 years. He has published more than 2000 papers in archival journals and edited several conference proceedings and books. He also holds over 200 patents and has been a member of the editorial boards of several archival journals. Professor Inoue was the President of Tohoku University in Sendia Japan during 2006-2012. Currently he is a Professor and Special Adviser to the Chancellor Josai University Tokyo Japan and Director of the International Institute of Green Materials Josai International University Togane Japan. Since 2013 he has been the 1000 Talented Invited Professor at theSchool of Materials Science and Engineering Tianjin University Tianjin China and from the beginning of 2017 he has been the Special Invited Professor Director Institute of Massive Amorphous Metal Science Chinese University of Mining Technology Suzhou China. Professor Inoue held visiting assignments at the Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm Sweden; the Swedish Institute of Metals Research; AT&T Bell Laboratories Murray Hill New Jersey; and the Institute für Forschung Werkstoff (IFW) Dresden Germany. He was awarded honorary doctorate degrees from the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm Sweden and from Dong-Eui University Busan Korea and from the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Shanghai China. He was appointed a Fellow of Churchill College University of Cambridge Cambridge UK. He holds honorary professor positions in several prestigious universities. Professor Inoue has received several awards and recognitions for his research contributions. He is a member of the Japan Academy and a foreign member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. Some of the most important awards he has received include the Japan Academy Prize (in recognition of his outstanding scholarly contributions to the pioneering development of BMGs) the Japan Prime Ministers Prize (in recognition of his outstanding IndustryUniversityGovernment Cooperation Achievement of BMGs) and the James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials (in recognition of the development of slow cooling methods for the fabrication of BMGs with remarkable mechanical properties and the characterization and applications of these materials) from the American Physical Society. He was most recently awarded the 2010 Acta Materialia Inc. Gold Medal. He has also delivered the Kelly Lecture (University of Cambridge Cambridge United Kingdom) and the Dr. Morris Traverse Lecture (Indian Institute of Science Bangalore India). The ISI has selected him as one of the most cited researchers in the field of materials science and engineering. He earned his BS in metallurgical engineering from the Himeji Institute of Technology and his MS and PhD in materials science and engineering from Tohoku University Sendai Japan.
