At the annual meeting of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers in July, Dr. Ruihong Zhang was named a Fellow of the organization for her outstanding contributions in the areas of waste conversion, bioenergy, and biofuel production. 
 

To be considered for the grade of ASABE Fellow, an individual must demonstrate unusual professional distinction, with outstanding qualifications and experience in the field of agricultural engineering. Twenty years membership in ASABE is also required. Only about two percent of the active members of ASABE have achieved the grade of Fellow. 

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to the advancement of engineering applicable to agricultural, food, and biological systems. Its members, from more than 100 countries, are consultants, managers, researchers, and others who have the training and experience to understand the interrelationships between technology and living systems. 

Congratulations to Dr. Zhang!
