Shipilov Named Fellow of CIM
Sergei Shipilov, FASM,
a senior R&D staff member
at the Materials Science and Technology Division at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), was named a Fellow
of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petro-
leum (CIM). Prior to joining ORNL in 2015, he was a mem-
ber of the Metallurgical Consulting Services’ team (Calgary,
Alberta) that received the 2012 ASM Canada Council John
Convey Innovation Award. Shipilov’s expertise is in the area
of environmental effects on the mechanical properties and
integrity of materials. His research findings have been used
in nuclear power generation, aerospace, space, naval, med-
ical device, oil and gas, petrochemical, and infrastructure
technologies.
Vander Voort Visits India, Argentina
On March 16,
George Vander Voort, FASM,
presented
a workshop on “Metallography for Failure Analysis” for the
Mumbai ASM International Chapter, sponsored by Aimil Ltd.
and the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai. He then
flew to Jindal University in Raigarh, India, where he served
as keynote speaker at the 2nd International Conference on
Advances in Steel, Power and Construction Technology,
from March 17-19. He also gave an afternoon seminar on
“Mill Metallography.” On April 4-5, Vander Voort gave a two-
day course on “Specimen Preparation for EBSD” in Bari-
loche, Argentina, as part of the 4th Congreso Argentino de
Microscopia, SAMIC 2016, for the materials characterization
groups at the Atomic Energy centers in Bariloche and Bue-
nos Aires.

Carter Receives NSF
Career Grant
Jennifer Carter,
an assis-
tant professor of materials sci-
ence and engineering at Case
Western
Reserve
University,
received a $500,000 Career grant
from the National Science Foun-
dation. Funds will be used to help
improve durability of turbine discs
used in nuclear, coal, and hydro
power plants and heat resistance
of medical imaging equipment parts, among other initia-
tives. Carter’s lab is investigating the mesoscale structure,
interactions, and other features in the boundaries between
layers of materials that influence overall part performance.
Her lab plans to develop an open-source, big data tool that
can be used to design and manufacture materials that opti-
mize the interface to produce desired qualities.
