Professor and Distinguished Chair, Victor A. Greenhut
    Victor A. Greenhut is Professor and Executive Officer of the Ceramic & Materials Engineering Department, Rutgers-the State University of New Jersey, USA.  He has authored/co-authored over 130 research publications.  He recieved 1st (twice) and 2nd prizes both from the Engineering Ceramics Division and the International Ceramographic Exhibition of the American Ceramic Society for research on composites and on metal bonding to ceramics.
    Recently, in recognition of his achievements, Prof. Greenhut  was invested as the Distinguished Chair in Ceramic Engineering.  The Malcolm G. McLaren/Corning-Saint Gobain Chair was created by donations from both Corning and Saint Gobain as well as several others in honor of the late Malcolm G. McLaren.  Prof. McLaren was a highly esteemed member of the international ceramics community and beloved by his friends both at Rutgers and abroad.
