Frazier, FASM, has been named as a 2017 recipient of the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achieve- ment Award. He is one of the first to receive the award, which is pre- sented by the Marquis Who’s Who Publication Board. It is an honor reserved for Marquis biographees who have achieved career longevity and demonstrated unwavering excellence in their chosen fields. Award recipients have met at least three of the following requirements: being listed as a biographee for 20 or more consecutive years, accruing more than 20 years in a particular career field or industry, publishing at least two articles, exhibiting one or more creative works, and receiving at least one award outside of this Who’s Who. Less than 5% of Marquis listees qualify for the award. Alpay Named New Executive Director of UConn Tech Park S. Pamir Alpay was named the new executive director of the Univer- sity of Connecticut’s Innovation Part- nership Building (IPB) at the UConn Tech Park effective August of this year. The professor of materials science and engineering has been serving as department head of MSE since 2013. In his new leadership role, Alpay will lead efforts to establish new industry partnerships that leverage the IPB space and sophisticated resources and utilize the expertise and capa- bilities of UConn’s world-class faculty. Alpay received his Ph.D. in materials science and engi- neering in 1999 from the University of Maryland. He is an elected member of the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE) and an NSF-CAREER Award winner. His research focuses on smart/functional materials and multi-scale materials modeling. Alpay is a member of the ASM Emerging Technologies Awareness Committee. Chen Receives Humboldt Award Long-Qing Chen, FASM, Donald W. Hamer Professor of materials science and engineering, professor of engineer- ing science and mechanics, and professor of mathematics, Penn State, has been awarded a Humboldt Research Award by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany. The award is named after the late Prussian naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt. “The award is granted in recog- nition of a researcher’s entire achieve- ments to date, to academics whose fundamental discoveries, new theo- ries, or insights have had a significant impact on their own discipline and who are expected to continue produc- ing cutting-edge achievements in the future,” according to the foundation. The award winners are invited to spend up to one year cooperating on a research project with colleagues at a research institution in Germany. Chen, who has earned worldwide recognition for his leader- ship in computational materials science, plans to work with colleagues at Darmstadt on a number of problems including mechanical tuning of electric properties of ceramics, multi- ferroic thin films, and phase change materials. Reed Named Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering Roger Reed, professor in the department of engineering science at the University of Oxford, was recently inducted as a Fellow of the Royal Acad- emy of Engineering. He is among 50 new Fellows who were formally admit- ted to the academy at its annual gen- eral meeting in London on Wednesday, September 6. Reed is a world leader in the engineering and science of high-temperature alloys, particularly the design and pro- cessing of nickel superalloys, which are ubiquitous in the aero-engine and power-generation industries. His sustained efforts in process modelling have been instrumental in the impact on industrial practice. Reed was also a 2002 winner of the ASM Marcus A. Grossmann Young Author Award. Herbert is New Associate Director of IMS Rainer Herbert has been appointed associate director of the Institute of Materials Science (IMS). He earned a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2003 and held postdoctoral fellowships at Research Center Karlsruhe, Germany, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, both from 2003 to 2005. Herbert joined the faculty of the University of Connecti- cut in 2006 and served as director of the Additive Manu- facturing Innovation Center. Herbert’s research specialties include alloy development through additive manufactur- ing, improvements in elevated temperature strength for high strength low alloy steel, and devitrification reactions in metallic glasses.
