I earned my Ph.D. researching processing of aluminum powders for cold spray applications. Now I work on a much wider range of materials, fromaluminums to steels to refractory metals, still in the cold spray field. I used to do a lot of microscopy and TEM but am more focused now on bulk powder properties and consolidated mechanical properties andmicrostructures. I also spendmore time writing proposals than I ever imagined. Are you actively engaged with ASM? I am actively involved in the Boston ASM Chapter—currently as chair, and as vice chair and secretary before that. I was also actively involved in WPI’s Material Advantage program during grad school. Hobbies? Running, baking, cooking, and renovating my home. Favorite motto or quote? The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. Last book read? The Answer Is… by Alex Trebek. Do you know someone who should be featured in an upcoming Women in Engineering profile? Contact Vicki Burt at vicki. burt@asminternational.org. ASM Digital Short Course – Basics of Welding ASM presents a new digital short course entitled Basics of Welding. This is an ideal first short course for anyone who needs a working understanding of the basic principles of welding and welding techniques. Students move at their own pace in this self-guided digital course aided by helpful visuals, narrated animations, and interactive quizzes. It has been designed for those with no previous training in welding, such as technical, laboratory, and sales personnel; engineers from other disciplines; management and administrative staff; and non-technical support staff such as purchasing and receiving agents. The course teaches the basic principles of arc, electroslag, oxyfuel gas, and resistance welding processes and touches on other welding methods. Visit www.asminternational.org/basicsofwelding. MEMBERS IN THE NEWS ASM Librarian Remembered EleanorMaryBaldwin, of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, served as the trusted and resourceful librarian at ASM International for 25 years, retiring in 1993. ASM recently learned that Baldwin passed away on February 27 at the age of 85. She had a love of books and was always eager to assist members by locating materials information and data for them. She also enjoyed traveling to London to archive rare books on ASM’s behalf. Former ASM librarian Eleanor Baldwin stands in front of a special atmosphere-controlled cabinet that housed some of William Hunt Eisenman’s rare book collection, including such treasurers as De Re Metallica, written by Georgius Agricola in 1556.

MEMBERS IN THE NEWS Hussain Receives Fellowship Tanvir Hussain, associate professor in materials engineering at the University of Nottingham, U.K., has secured over £2.1 million to develop new coatings for use in aerospace that could cut jet plane CO2 emissions and help spacecraft built for humans venture further into our solar system. The five-year fellowship funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council is to find modeling and processing techniques that will overhaul the design and manufacture of advanced ceramic materials for the next generation of air and space travel. The long-term vision is to build a Center of Excellence in Ceramic Coatings at the University. Hussain
