Cote, assistant professor, materials science and engi- neering, Worcester Polytechnic Insti- tute, Mass., will receive this year’s award “for commendable and signif- icant research in the areas of compu- tational thermodynamics, thermal processing, and alloy design, together with leadership in promoting diversity in STEM education.” Dr. Dharma R. Maddala, senior staff metallurgical engineer, Arconic Davenport Works, Bettendorf, Iowa, will receive this year’s award “for out- standing contributions to process improvements in the rolling of alumi- num alloys and volunteerism in sup- port of ASM at the local chapter and national level.” Established in 2014, the honor recognizes ASM members who are in early-career positions, typically 0 to 10 years of experience, for significant contri- butions in the field of materials science and engineering through technical content and service to ASM and the mate- rials science profession. Bradley Stoughton Award for Young Teachers Dr. Susan P. Gentry, lecturer, Uni- versity of California, Davis, will receive this year’s award “for passionate and innovative teaching of materials sci- ence and engineering that is inspiring students and developing their compu- tational literacy, while also impacting the materials education community.” This award, accompanied by $3000, was established in 1952 in memory of an outstanding teacher in metallurgy and dean of engineer- ing who was president of ASM in 1942. The award recognizes young teachers of materials science, materials engineering, and design and processing, by rewarding them for their abil- ity to impart knowledge and enthusiasm to students. The recipient must be 35 years of age or younger by May 15 of the year in which the award is made. Henry Marion Howe Medal Peter Collins, Vikas Dixit, Hamish Fraser, and San- thosh Koduri will receive this year’s award for their paper entitled “Understanding the Interdependencies Between Composition, Microstructure, and Continuum Variables and Their Influence on the Fracture Toughness of α / β -Processed Ti-6Al-4V,” Met. Trans. A, Vol. 49, 2018. The award was estab- lished in 1923 in memory of a distinguished teacher, metal- lurgist, and consultant, to honor the author(s) whose paper was selected as the best of those published in a specific vol- ume of Metallurgical and Materials Transactions. Cote Maddala Gentry Dixit Fraser Koduri ASM Student Paper Contest Mr. Christopher B. Finfrock is recognized for his paper entitled “Effect of Hot Isostatic Pressing and Powder Feedstock on Porosity, Microstructure, and Mechanical Prop- erties of Selective Laser Melted AlSi10Mg.” The contest was established in 1985 as amechanism for student participation in Society affairs. The award recognizes the best technical paper with a graduate or undergraduate student as first author that is published in an ASM-sponsored publication during the year. Asta Dr. Mark D. Asta Named 2020 J. Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria Award Recipient ASM is pleased to announce that Dr. Mark D. Asta, Arthur C. and Phyllis G. Oppenheimer Professor, department of materials science and engineering, University of California, Berkeley, and director, Materials Science Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Labora- tory, is the 2020 J. Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria Award recipient. His citation reads, “for first principles based atomic scale modelling and simulation of structural thermody- namics, and kinetic properties of phases, surfaces, and interfaces.” The Gibbs Award was established in 2007 to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of phase equilibria. It honors J. Willard Gibbs, one of America’s greatest theo- retical scientists. The award is endowed by QuesTek Inno- vations 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.
