Congratulations to Zhigang and Frans. This is great news ! Zhigang is a great advisor and long time mentor to me.  I also appreciate the intriguing discussions with Frans when I gave a seminar at Harvard in 2006. I wish to take this opportunity to sincerely wish Zhigang and Frans all the best.

Congratulations to Frans and Zhigang for this prestigious honor!  I'm so fortunate to have Zhigang as my advisor and long time mentor, and Frans as my Ph.D. thesis committee member.  Both of them are fantastic teachers and great scientists.

I am happy that someone of Zhigang's competence, sincerity, transparency, and sense of balance has received this honour. I first came to know of his research in early 1990s (on composites), and later on, of course, his initiative of iMechanica is for all to see.

Congratulations, Zhigang!
