Prof. Jiwang Yan is currently a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Keio University, Japan, leading the Laboratory for Precision Machining and Nano Processing (PMNP). His research areas include ultraprecision machining, micro/nanomanufacturing, material processing, and nanomechanics. He has led the implementation of tens of research projects supported by governments and industry to develop key fabrication processes for optics, molds, cutting/grinding tools, semiconductor substrates, batteries, and biomechanical components. He has received a few tens of awards from academic societies and scientific foundations for his contributions in research. He is now a member of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), Japan Society for Precision Engineering (JSPE), Japan Society for Abrasive Technology (JSAT), Japan Society for Applied Physics (JSAP), American Society for Precision Engineering (ASPE), European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology (euspen), and the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP). He also serves on the editorial boards for several academic journals, such as the International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture (IJMTM).
