HIGHL IGHTS A D V A N C E D M A T E R I A L S & P R O C E S S E S | O C T O B E R 2 0 1 7 3 7 2017 SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS Rachel Pry Ohio State University Pry, a senior, is studying materials science and engineering, with a spe- cific interest in metals and biomateri- als. “I grew up with both my parents in the Air Force…which lead me to volun- teer with Honor Flight, an organization that flies veterans to Washington to see their memorials. This shaped my education and career goals, to work with prosthetics, implants, and devices.” She hopes to continue working with metals and biomaterials in a way that benefits our servicemen and women. David J. Chellman Scholarship The David J. Chellman Scholarship was established in 2014 by Mrs. Arline Denny in honor of her husband, a long-standing Senior Technical Fellow with Lockheed Mar- tin Corp. and ASM Life Member who enthusiastically served on the AeroMat Conference Organizing Committee for more than 25 years. The scholarship is an expression of his com- mitment to education and the materials science and engi- neering community, and is awarded based on academic merit and financial need. Tuition of $2500 for the academic year is awarded through this scholarship. Ann Graff Ohio State University Graff always wanted to pursue engineering with a focus in medicine. Materials science and engineering was the perfect way to make that happen. Since then, she has takenmany courses focusing on biomaterials and had sev- eral related research experiences. Most recently, she interned with the German Academic Exchange Program to work on a tissue engineering project in Reutlin- gen. “It was such an amazing experience to see the research process in another culture,” she says of her time there. Ladish Co. Foundation Scholarship Established in 2011, the Ladish Co. Foundation Schol- arship is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate mem- ber of ASMwho has demonstrated exemplary academic and personal achievements, as well as interest and potential in metallurgy or materials science and engineering. (Student must be a Wisconsin resident and must attend a Wiscon- sin university to qualify.) Two scholars were selected this year, and each will receive a certificate and check for $2500 toward educational expenses for one academic year. and TMS Student-Run Symposium Planning Committee member. Bautista has developed and refined analytical and data-based research skills through her internship with 3M in the Pressure Sensitive Adhesives R&D group, and her co-op with GE Aviation in the Additive Technology R&D group. Karl Keller South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Keller has been fascinated bymet- als from a very young age. He spent the summer break working at Gulfstream Aerospace where he worked in produc- tion and design and discovered a pas- sion for alloys and their applications. He intends to pursue a career in the development of future materials for the transportation industry. Keller is active in Material Advantage, the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration, and the Society for the Advancement of Materi- als and Process Engineers. Katerina Kimes University of Pittsburgh While at the University of Pitts- burgh, Kimes has pursued industry and research opportunities fueled by her passion for learning. She plans to earn a doctorate degree in materials science and engineering. Ultimately, Kimes aspires to work in research and devel- opment to advance additive manufacturing technologies. She is president for her school’s Material Advantage chap- ter. “I want to help other students realize the opportunities within materials science and the impact of the field.” Abigail McBride South Dakota School of Mines & Technology McBride’s interest in physics and chemistry sent her searching for a major that applies these disciplines to real world needs. She found the answer in the metallurgical engineer- ing department at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. McBride spent her sum- mers in internships and research opportunities in sus- tainability, astrophysics, and minerals processing. She is looking forward to pursuing a career in mineral process- ing for metals, which currently need more cost-effective extraction methods.
