Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering
暫譯: 材料科學與工程導論

《材料科學與工程導論（第二版）》已更新以反映自第一版出版以來該領域的變化，提供跨學科的視角，強調材料對工程應用的重要性，並建立選擇、修改和創造材料以滿足特定標準所需的基礎。

Yip-Wah Chung obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of California at Berkeley. He joined Northwestern University in 1977. He is currently Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and (by courtesy) Mechanical Engineering at Northwestern. He was named Fellow, ASM International; Fellow, AVS; and Fellow, Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers. His other awards include the Ralph A Teetor Engineering Educator Award from SAE International, Innovative Research Award and Best Paper Award from the ASME Tribology Division, Technical Achievement Award from the National Storage Industry Consortium, and Bronze Bauhinia Star Medal from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Government. Dr. Chung served two years as program officer in surface engineering and materials design at the National Science Foundation. His most recent research activities are in low-friction surfaces, lubricant and thin-film design and characterization, and multifunctional alloys. His favorite hobbies are photography and recreational flying. He holds several Federal Aviation Administration ratings, including commercial multiengine instrument, commercial remote pilot, instrument ground instructor and advanced ground instructor.

Monica Kapoor obtained her PhD in materials science and Engineering from Northwestern University in the design and development of precipitation-strengthened steels. She is currently a Senior Metallurgical Scientist in Materials Technology at Novelis Global Research & Technology Center in Kennesaw, Georgia. Her current interests are in transitioning basic research into advanced processes and alloys, early-stage clustering in Al alloys, and atom probe tomography. After her PhD, she has worked at University of Alabama on high-strength-low-alloy steels and nanocrystalline metals. Subsequently, she joined the National Energy Technology Laboratory where she developed transient-liquid-phase bonding methods for Ni-based super alloys. Her area of expertise is in physical metallurgy of structural metals and advanced characterization techniques, specifically atom probe tomography. She has published twenty-plus publications in high impact factor peer-reviewed journals. She is also an avid reviewer and was recognized as the Reviewer of the Year 2016 by Scripta Materialia.

鍾業華於加州大學伯克利分校獲得物理學博士學位。他於1977年加入西北大學，目前擔任材料科學與工程系教授（兼任）及機械工程系教授。他被任命為ASM International的會士、AVS的會士，以及摩擦學與潤滑工程師學會的會士。他的其他獎項包括SAE International頒發的拉爾夫·A·提托工程教育獎、ASME摩擦學部門的創新研究獎和最佳論文獎、全國儲存產業聯盟的技術成就獎，以及香港特別行政區政府頒發的銅色 Bauhinia 星獎。鍾博士曾在國家科學基金會擔任表面工程和材料設計的計畫官兩年。他最近的研究活動集中在低摩擦表面、潤滑劑及薄膜的設計與特性分析，以及多功能合金。他的興趣愛好包括攝影和休閒飛行。他擁有多項聯邦航空管理局的執照，包括商業多引擎儀表飛行執照、商業遙控飛行員執照、儀表地面教練及高級地面教練。

莫妮卡·卡普爾於西北大學獲得材料科學與工程博士學位，專注於沉澱強化鋼的設計與開發。她目前是位於喬治亞州肯尼索的Novelis全球研究與技術中心的高級冶金科學家。她目前的研究興趣包括將基礎研究轉化為先進的工藝和合金、鋁合金中的早期聚集現象，以及原子探針斷層掃描。獲得博士學位後，她在阿拉巴馬大學從事高強度低合金鋼和納米晶金屬的研究。隨後，她加入國家能源技術實驗室，開發了基於鎳的超合金的瞬態液相鍵合方法。她的專業領域是結構金屬的物理冶金學和先進的特徵分析技術，特別是原子探針斷層掃描。她在高影響因子的同行評審期刊上發表了二十多篇論文。她也是一位熱心的評審，並於2016年被Scripta Materialia評選為年度最佳評審。
