William Van Geertruyden William Van Geertruyden is General Manager for EMV Technologies. Dr. Van Geertruyden holds both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in the field of Materials Science and Engineering from Lehigh University where he was a member of the Institute for Metal Forming. Dr. Van Geertruyden has co-authored over 25 publications in the field of materials processing and has delivered numerous technical presentations in the United States and abroad. Dr. Van Geertruyden holds Adjunct Professor appointments in Mechanical Engineering at Widener University and in Materials Science and Engineering at Lehigh University. He is a member of both the American Society of Materials International (ASMI) and The Mineral, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS). Wojciech Misiolek Dr. Wojciech Z. Misiolek is Senior Scientist at EMV Technologies, as well as Loewy Chair in Materials Forming and Processing, and Director of the Institute for Metal Forming (IMF) at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. He is a faculty member of the Materials Science and Engineering as well as Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics Departments. He received his education in metallurgy (M.Eng. in 1980 and Sc.D. in 1985) from the AGH - University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland. After spending one year (1987-1988) at Lehigh University he was with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY (1988-1997) serving in various research and teaching positions. The Aluminum Processing Program at RPI, which he co– founded and co–directed at RPI, was sponsored by the following industrial companies from three continents: Alcan, Alcoa, Aluminum Shapes, Brazeway, Kaiser, Ormet, Hydro Aluminum, Hullet Aluminum, Alumax, Cressona, Reynolds, and Werner Co. His research includes work in the area of materials deformation, bio-materials and devices, powder metallurgy and metal machining. The ability to understand and characterize material in terms of its microstructure evolution during processing is a common theme for all the studies on different materials. Dr. Misiolek is a Fellow of the American Society of Materials (ASM) and has contributed to over two hundred publications to the research literature as well as a patent.
