and goals. The purpose of this award is to recognize those
individuals whose contributions have been especially note-
worthy and to whom the Society owes a particularly great
debt of appreciation.
Albert Easton White
Distinguished Teacher
Award
Prof. Marc Andre Meyers,
FASM,
professor, University of Cal-
ifornia, San Diego, is recognized
“for inspired teaching for 45 years,
and for leadership in the field of
materials science and engineering
through research, organization of conferences and sympo-
sia, and writing textbooks used globally.” The award was es-
tablished in 1960 in memory of an outstanding teacher and
research engineer, who was a founding member and pres-
ident of ASM in 1921. It recognizes unusually long and de-
voted service in teaching as well as significant accomplish-
ments in materials science and engineering and an unusual
ability to inspire and impart enthusiasm to students.
Silver Medal Award
Dr. Ryan Deacon,
DuPont
materials engineering consultant,
physical metallurgy and failure
analysis, DuPont Engineering Re-
search and Technology, Wilming-
ton, Del., will receive this year’s
award “for his leadership in the
fields of materials characteriza-
tion, metallography, and micro-
structural analysis as well as exemplary volunteer service
to ASM International and the profession of materials sci-
ence and engineering.” Established in 2010, the honor of
Silver Medal of the Society recognizes members who are in
mid-career positions (typically 5 to 15 years of experience),
for distinguished contributions in the field of materials sci-
ence and engineering, and to the Society. The purpose of
this award is to recognize leadership at an early stage and
encourage individuals to grow, nurture, and further contrib-
ute to the growth of the profession as well as the Society.
Bronze Medal Award
Ms. Emily R. Kinser,
patent
engineer, IP licensing and develop-
ment, IBM Corp., Hopewell Junc-
tion, N.Y., will receive the inaugural
Bronze Medal Award “for her sem-
inal technological achievements
in semiconductor 3D integration
along with 15 years of local and
national service to ASM Interna-
tional.” Established in 2014, the
honor recognizes ASM members who are in early-career po-
sitions, typically 0 to 10 years of experience, for significant
contributions in the field of materials science and engineer-
ing through technical content and service to ASM and the
materials science profession.
Bradley Stoughton Award
for Young Teachers
Prof. Steven May,
assistant
professor, department of materi-
als science and engineering, Drexel
University, Philadelphia, will re-
ceive this year’s award “for dedi-
cation and enthusiasm in teaching
and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students and
for broadening awareness of materials science among high
school students.” This award, accompanied by $3000, was
established in 1952 in memory of an outstanding teacher in
metallurgy and dean of engineering who was president of
ASM in 1942. The award recognizes young teachers of ma-
terials science, materials engineering, and design and pro-
cessing, by rewarding them for their ability to impart knowl-
edge and enthusiasm to students. The recipient must be 35
years of age or younger by May 15 of the year in which the
award is made.
Henry Marion Howe Medal
Thomas K. Bieler, LeyunWang, Armand J. Beaudoin,
Peter Kenesei, and Ulrich Lienert,
will receive this year’s
award for their paper entitled “In Situ Characterization of
Twin Nucleation in Pure Ti Using 3D-XRD,”
MetTrans
Vol. 45A,
2014. The award was established in 1923 inmemory of a dis-
tinguished teacher, metallurgist, and consultant, to honor
the author(s) whose paper was selected as the best of those
published in a specific volume of
Metallurgical and Materials
Transactions.
