Dr. Syd Peng/Teacher-Researcher-Consultant

摘要

As just a teenager half a world away in Taiwan, Syd Peng (pronounced "Pung") knew where he wanted to go with his life, he just had no idea then how far that eventually would take him, both geographically and professionally. "I was a student in junior high school when I first learned how large the country China was, how rich in natural resources, and how under-explored. Even then, I knew it was in that world I wanted to make my mark." And make his mark he would, though not in China, not then anyway, and not in mineral exploration, but rather in mineral exploitation as a teacher, researcher, consultant, and author. Today, headquartered in the Mineral Resources Building at West Virginia University, Dr. Syd Peng holds the Charles E. Lawall Chair of Mining Engineering.
