Awards and Honors

• Investigator's Certificate for National Science and Technology Achievements, as the third principal investigator, awarded by National Science and Technology Commission of the People's Republic of China, 1997, for the project titled "Creep constitutive relation and creep damage of composites", funded by the Chinese National Science Foundation.
  (Honestly, I was in USA during most of the project's time, I was really flattered that my colleagues in China still credited me because I wrote the original proposal, which was based on my earlier exploratory works in M.Eng. thesis.)
• The research project "Prediction of the Strength and Mixed-Mode Crack Propagation Direction in Anisotropic Materials" won the second prize of Chinese Academy of Sciences Science and Technology Achievement Awards, 1991.
• Master thesis was recommended by the Institute of Mechanics as one of the Best Dissertations of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 1988.
