Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria Award ASM is pleased to announce that Prof. John E. Morral, FASM, emeritus professor, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, The Ohio State University, Columbus, is the 2018 J. Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria Award recipient. His citations reads: “For funda- mental and applied research on topol- ogy of phase diagrams and theory of phase equilibria result- ing in major advances in the calculation and interpretation of phase equilibria and diffusion.” The Gibbs Award was established in 2007 to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of phase equilibria. The award honors J. Willard Gibbs, one of America’s great- est theoretical scientists. The award is endowed by QuesTek Innovations LLC. Gibbs laid the thermodynamics foundations of phase equilibria with his brilliant essay, “On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances,” published in 1876 and in 1878 in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy.
