Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria Award Recipient ASM is pleased to announce that Dr. Patrice Turchi, senior scientist, Law- rence Livermore National Laboratory, Calif., is the 2019 J. Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria Award recipient. His citation reads, “For outstanding and pioneer- ing contributions in the application of first-principles, quantum-mechanical calculations to the modeling of phase equilibria and thermodynamic behavior of alloys.” The Gibbs Award was established in 2007 to recog- nize outstanding contributions to the field of phase equi- libria. The award honors J. Willard Gibbs, one of America’s greatest theoretical scientists. The award is endowed by QuesTek Innovations LLC. Gibbs laid the thermodynam- ics foundations of phase equilibria with his brilliant essay, “On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances,” pub- lished in 1876 and in 1878 in the Transactions of the Con- necticut Academy.
