Zhuang Zuo, professor of Tsinghua University School of Aerospace Engineering, was elected vice president of the International Association for Computational Mechanics（IACM) on July 26.

IACM, established in the 1980s, is an international mechanics academic organization with more than 5,100 registered members from 33 countries and regions in America, Asia-Oceania, Europe-Middle East-Africa. It has about 610 members from China.

In 1988, the Professional Committee on Computational Mechanics of the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CSTAM) joined the organization as a group member. IACM holds dozens of international conferences every year, among which the most representative is the World Congress on Computational Mechanics.

Zhuang Zhuo is a general council member and executive council member of IACM, and a member of the supervisory board of CSTAM. Zhuang has served as the executive council member of CSTAM and director of the CSTAM Professional Committee on Computational Mechanics, and has contributed to promoting international exchanges in computational mechanics.
