Elliott Busta
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Busta has become increasingly interested
in rapid prototyping with metals and poly-
mers. “I feel that rapid prototyping will even-
tually become as common as a paper printer
in a household, and I aspire to be part of a
team that makes themmore advanced and economical,” he says.
DJ Murphy Devan
University of Wisconsin-Madison
“I knew almost immediately upon enter-
ing the materials science and engineering
department at UW-Madison that I wanted
to be a metallurgical engineer,” Devan says.
“Ultimately, I hope my path leads to a ca-
reer in aerospace or aeronautics and research into materials
used in aircraft and spacecraft.”
Edward J. Dulis Scholarship
The Edward J. Dulis Scholarship was established in 2003.
It is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate member of
ASM at the junior or senior level who demonstrates exem-
plary academic and personal achievements, as well as inter-
est and potential in metallurgy or materials science and
engineering. One scholar was selected this year and will be
presented with a certificate and a check for $1500 toward ed-
ucational expenses for one academic year.
Alexandra Glover
Michigan Technological University
Glover has been fascinated by additive
manufacturing technologies, or 3D print-
ing, since her first two years at Michigan
Tech. There she helped develop a mate-
rial for open-source additive manufactur-
ing systems using recycled polymer
waste. She plans to work toward a Ph.D. in materials sci-
ence and engineering.
John M. Haniak Scholarship
The John M. Haniak Scholarship was established in 2003.
It is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate member of
ASM at the junior or senior level who demonstrates exem-
plary academic and personal achievements as well as inter-
est in metallurgy or materials science and engineering. One
scholar was selected this year and will be presented with a
certificate and check for $1500 toward educational expenses
for one academic year.
Ziyin Huang
Drexel University
Huang chose materials science and engi-
neering as his major “because materials en-
gineering is essential for the development
of new technologies.” He is focused on ma-
terials for biomedical and electronic appli-
cations, and his work includes characterization of polymer
crystallization at curved liquid-liquid interfaces and nan-
otube-induced flat interface polymer crystallization.

Jacquet-Lucas Award
for Excellence in Metallography
The ASMMetallographic Award was established in 1946
for the best entry in the annual ASMmetallographic compe-
tition. In 1958, it became known as the Francis F. Lucas Met-
allographic Award. In 1972, ASM joined with The
International Metallographic Society (IMS) in sponsoring
the Pierre Jacquet Gold Medal and the Francis F. Lucas
Award for Excellence in Metallography. This award has been
endowed by Buehler Ltd. since 1976.
The 2014 Recipient of the Jacquet-Lucas Award
is Thomas Nizolek, a doctoral student at the Uni-
versity of California Santa Barbara, advised by
Prof. Tresa Pollock, FASM, for his entry entitled:
Deformation of Bulk Metallic Nanolaminates.
Nizolek received his B.S. inMaterials Science and
Engineering from Lehigh University in 2010 where
he was a Dean’s Scholar and an active member of the local
chapter of ASM. During his undergraduate studies, he worked
on a variety of research projects on topics including laminated
steels, titanium nitride thin films, and titanium-tantalum
shape memory alloys.
During the course of his Ph.D. research, Nizolek worked at
Los Alamos National Laboratory as part of a team focused on
improving the deformation processing and properties of bulk
bimetallic nanolaminates. He is a previous Jacquet-Lucas re-
cipient (2008), a Department of Defense NDSEG fellow, and a
member of ASM since 2005.
