Bio.:
  Prof. Jeong Whan Yoon is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST, Korea and also Professor of Applied Mechanics at Deakin University, Australia. He is leading the International Consortium for Innovative Manufacturing (ICIM) with General Motors toward high reliability design and manufacturing for lightweight materials and structures. He led Boeing-chaired manufacturing research (AusAMRC) at Swinburne University. He has published over 200 technical papers for international journals and conferences with over 3300 citations (H-index: 30). He received “2008 International Journal of Plasticity Award” for outstanding contributions in the field of plasticity. He has been serving as an “Editorial-Board” member for International Journal of Plasticity since 2008. As guest editors, he edited six special issues at Int. J. Plasticity and one issue at Int. J. Solids & Structures. He also has diverse industry experiences including LG Electronics (Korea) for product development, MSC Software Corporation (USA) for MSC. Nastran & Marc source code development and Alcoa Technical Center (USA). He served as the chairman of NUMISHEET2014 held in Melbourne, Australia. He received his PhD at KAIST in 1997.
