Professor Chang Dae Han, Professor Emeritus of the University of Akron in the United States, is well recognized for his significant scientific contributions to the fields of polymer rheology, polymer processing and computational polymer fluid dynamics. He was born in Korea in 1935. He graduated from Seoul National University in 1958, and received a doctoral degree in chemical engineering from MIT in 1964. He was a research fellow at American Cyanamid Company and Esso Research and Engineering Company in the years from 1964 through 1967. In 1967 he joined the faculty of Polytechnic University of New York (currently New York University-Tandon School of Engineering) and in 1992 he was named University Professor. In 1993 he accepted the position of Benjamin Franklin Goodrich Endowed Professorship at the University of Akron and remained there until he retired in 2012.

 In 1996 he received the Ho-Am Prize in Engineering from Samsung Foundation in the Republic of Korea, and in 2003 he received an Outstanding Research Award from the University of Akron. Since 2013 he has been a Distinguished Professor at Chonbuk National University in the Republic of Korea and continues his research activities in the synthesis of molecule-based magnetic polymers.

 Professor C. D. Han published four books as Author:

   (1) Rheology in Polymer Processing (366 pages) in 1976 Academic Press, which was         later translated into Russian in 1979 and into Chinese in 1984;

   (2) MultiphaseFlow in Polymer Processing (459 pages) in 1981 Academic Press; 

   (3) Rheology and Processing of Polymeric Materials: Volume 1 Polymer Rheology

        (707 pages with 492 figures) in 2007 Oxford University Press;

   (4) Rheology and Processing of Polymeric Materials: Volume 2 Polymer Processing

        (579 pages with 443 figures) in 2007 Oxford University Press.
