The awards program recognizes achievements of members of the materials science and engineering community. ASM had hoped to present awards in person in St. Louis, however the Awards Banquet held in conjunction with IMAT 2021 will not take place this year. Therefore, ASM will present these awards, along with awards from 2020, at the ASM Awards Banquet to be held at IMAT 2022, scheduled for September 13-16, 2022, in New Orleans. ASM looks forward to celebrating all the award winners from 2020-2022 in a big way in New Orleans. We promise it will be worth the wait! Distinguished Life Membership Mr. Pradeep V.
