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 8 3 7 Karl Keller South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Keller has been fascinated by metals from a very young age. In high school he discovered metallurgical engineering and knew this was the path he wanted. His internships at Gulfstream Aerospace and Arconic pro- vided him with experience in production and design where he discovered a passion for alloys and their applications. He intends to focus on these areas in his remaining coursework and pursue a career in the development of future materials for the transportation industry. 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. Brooklyn Carlson University of Wisconsin-Madison Carlson is a senior in MSE at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. As a competitive swimmer, her fascination with high-tech materials used in “fast suit” designs sparked her interest in materials science. Then her passion for metals ignited during an internship with Scot Forge. She continues to focus on metals in her studies and conducts metallurgical investigations as a research assistant for Prof. John Perepezko, FASM. In addition, working as an intern at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles solidified her fascina- tion with automotive innovation. Ameralys Correa University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Correa is in her fourth year of materials engineering at University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Her engi- neering education budded with three semesters of undergraduate research on composite self-healing materials and blossomed with several intern and co-op terms at Harley-Davidson’s Product Development Center and Powertrain Operations Plant. Her professional and personal growth would not have been possible if it were not for the generous support of various engineering schol- arships and professional development programs offered through UW-Milwaukee and the local ASM Chapter. Edward J. Dulis Scholarship The Edward J. Dulis Scholarship was established in 2003 and is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate member of ASM at the junior or senior level who demon- strates exemplary academic and personal achievements, as well as interest and potential in metallurgy or materials sci- ence and engineering. One scholar will receive a certificate and check for $1500 toward educational expenses for one academic year. Benjamin Blazek University of Akron Blazek studies corrosion engi- neering at the University of Akron (UA). His interest in the field began when he earned a Metalwork merit badge in the Boy Scouts of America. At UA, he has been involved with several studies at the Engineering Research Center, cofounded the Corrosion Design Team, and is now chair of the school’s Material Advantage Chapter. He spent a semes- ter working with the Equity Engineering Group and is cur- rently working with Sun Hydraulics. John M. Haniak Scholarship The John M. Haniak Scholarship was established in 2003 and is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate member of ASM at the junior or senior level who demon- strates exemplary academic and personal achievements, as well as interest and potential in metallurgy or materials sci- ence and engineering. One scholar will receive a certificate and check for $1500 toward educational expenses for one academic year. Preston Nguyen University of Pittsburgh Because of his passion for solv- ing Rubik’s Cubes, Nguyen never shied away from a challenge. He discovered that through MSE, he could combine his passions of problem-solving and engineering to develop new solutions for materials problems. This past sum- mer, he worked at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory performing materials research and testing to improve new materials. After he graduates, Nguyen is determined to pursue a doc- torate degree in MSE, specializing in nanotechnology. SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
