Chellman Scholarship was established in 2014 by Mrs. Arline Denny in honor of her husband, a long-standing Senior Technical Fellow with Lockheed Mar- tin Corp. and ASM Life Member who enthusiastically served on the AeroMat Conference Organizing Committee for more than 25 years. The scholarship is an expression of his com- mitment to education and the materials science and engi- neering community, and is awarded based on academic merit and financial need. Tuition of $2500 for the academic year is awarded through this scholarship. Max Bowman Rice University Bowman is a rising sophomore at Rice University, studying materials science and nanoengineering (MSNE) and physics. Since performing density functional theory research as a high school senior, he has been interested in using scientific computing to explore material proper- ties. Bowman performs research in the Hazzard research group at Rice, where he studies the computational predic- tion of properties of dimerized fermion lattices. He recently interned at Argonne National Laboratory, writing software to make large-scale quantum system simulations more accessible. Ladish Co. Foundation Scholarship Established in 2011, the Ladish Co. Foundation Schol- arship is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate mem- ber of ASM who 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 Wisconsin university to qualify.) One scholar was selected this year, and will receive a certificate and check for $2500 toward educational expenses for one academic year. Baily Syring University of Wisconsin-Madison Syring is entering her senior year, majoring in materials science and engi- neering and minoring in German at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her fascination with metals started in her sophomore year, when she began doing research in the Thoma Lab in Wisconsin’s Grainger Institute for Engi- neering. There, Syring researched the effect of hydrogen on steels and was introduced to additive manufacturing. She has worked as an intern for Collins Aerospace and Avient. Outstanding Scholar Awards The Outstanding Scholar Awards were established to recognize students who have demonstrated exemplary academic and personal achievements, as well as interest and potential in metallurgy or materials science and engi- neering. Three awards of $2000 each are funded by the ASM Materials Education Foundation. Skyler Burke Iowa State University Burke is entering his sophomore year, studying mat e rials science and engineering at Iowa State University. His passion for materials science began in high school, when his materials sci- ence teacher did a lab with Nitinol. Burke attended the Eisenman Materials Camp for students in 2018. After his freshman year at Iowa State, he interned for Olsson Associates as a materials test- ing intern, working with various materials in the construc- tion field. Rachel Eckert Iowa State University Eckert has been captivated by materials science since she first heard about it. Taking STEM classes, job shadowing engineers, and attending ASM Materials Camps in high school confirmed that it was the career for her. Eckert is a junior materials engineering major at Iowa State, specializing in polymers and minoring in biomedical engineering. She has contributed to research at the Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory, served as Material Advantage secretary, and led the PrISUm solar car team as vice president. Mark Petrovic Drexel University Petrovic is in his last year in Drexel University’s BS/MS program in mate- rials science and engineering. He was introduced to the field of biomedical materials after joining the Biomaterials Laboratory Group during his freshman year. His thesis project focuses on the relationship between the chemical composition of heart valve tissue and its mechanical prop- erties, specifically as it pertains to the function of tissue-de- rived heart valve replacements called bioprosthetic heart valves. 2020 SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
