first two semesters of college at NC State. Besides using this knowledge for the remainder of my college career, I believe many of the things I have learned will be valuable for the rest of my life. Thanks again to the Society of Manufacturing Engi- neers and the SME Education Foundation for helping to make my dream of studying engineering at NC State possible. ME


2012 Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineers Announced


H


alf-a-dozen exceptional manufacturing engineers are the recipients of SME’s 2012 Outstanding Young Manufac- turing Engineers Award, which, since 1980, has recognized manufacturing engineers, age 35 or younger, who have made exceptional contributions and accomplishments in the manu- facturing industry. The Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineers are:


Jingyan Dong, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC


Dong received his PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2006, a master's degree in manufacturing automation from the Chinese Acad- emy of Sciences, and a bachelor's degree in automatic control from the University of Science and Technology of China. His primary research interests are micro/nanoscale manufacturing systems and processes, which span multiple topics, includ- ing high-speed nanopositioning, miniaturized MEMS-scale nanomanufacturing systems, tip-based nanomachining, and biomedical manufacturing. Dong’s work has resulted in more than 40 publications, which have appeared in many leading journals and refereed conference proceedings, and two US and international patents and patent applications.


Tony Jun Huang, PhD Associate Professor


Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics


Pennsylvania State University University Park, PA


Huang received his PhD in mechanical and aerospace engi- neering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2005, and his BS and MS degrees in energy and power engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 1996 and 1999, respectively.


He has authored more than 70 journal publications and six book chapters. Huang has received many awards and honors, such as the 2005 Outstanding PhD Award from UCLA, the 2006 Rustum and Della Roy Innovation in Materials Research Award, the 2010 National Institutes of Health Director’s New Innovator Award, and the 2011 Penn State Engineering Alumni Society Outstanding Research Award.


Shiva Kalidas


Manufacturing Engineering Supervisor Caterpillar Inc. Peoria, IL


Kalidas joined Caterpillar’s Center of Manufacturing Excel- lence in 2000, and led manufacturing process research projects for engine and fabricated structures. He is currently a manufacturing engineering supervisor at Caterpillar’s Track Type Tractor fabricated structures facility. While at Caterpillar, he has reviewed papers for ASME’s Journal of Manufactur- ing Science and Engineering and has built deep expertise in 6-sigma methodologies, design for manufacturing analysis, and lean techniques.


Vishesh Kumar, PhD Senior Lead Engineer General Motors Technical Center India Bangalore, India


Kumar has worked for General Motors Technical Center India as a senior lead engineer since 2008, where he develops cali- bration methodologies for various vehicular subsystems. He also conducts design for 6-sigma training at GM-TCI. Before joining GM-TCI, Kumar worked at the University of Washing- ton as a postdoctoral research associate where he explored recycling issues for fuel cells.


Shawn Moylan, PhD Mechanical Engineer, Engineering Laboratory National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Gaithersburg, MD


Moylan came to NIST as a National Academy of Sciences/ National Research Council postdoctoral research associate in January 2006. While at the institute, he has worked on a variety of projects in manufacturing metrology, including
