She has participated in research since her freshman year, working in biomaterials, computer modeling, regener- ative medicine, and tissue engineering. She recently partici- pated in a Research Experience for Undergraduates program funded by the National Science Foundation at the Univer- sity of Georgia, where she worked with Professor Handa to publish a paper on biomaterials research. After graduation, Crutchfield plans to pursue a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering and work to develop medical devices and therapies. Sarah Gonder McMaster University A senior in the materials science and engineering program at McMaster University, Sarah Gonder has a passion for materials innovation, decarboniza- tion, and improving equity in engineer- ing. After receiving an NSERC USRA, she has continued her research under Dr. Bosco Yu for the past 16 months. She has explored computational and cel- lular materials through developing algorithms to generate impact absorption architectures for additively manufac- tured helmets. With the support of AIST’s Samson Canadian Steel Intern Scholarship, she is currently contributing to global decarbonization initiatives in the ferrous pyrometal- lurgy group at Hatch Ltd. Serving as president of McMaster’s MSE Society and supervising an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Yu’s group has highlighted Gonder’s passion for men- torship. She aspires to enter project management after completing a master’s degree in Europe. Giovanna Janes University of British Columbia Giovanna Janes is entering her third year of materials engineering at the University of British Columbia, where she is an All-American varsity track athlete as well as an Academic All-Canadian. This summer, she worked with Deacon Industrial Design, modeling structural elements and developing a soon-to-be patented mechanism in civil engineering. As a member of the Strive business and engineering team, Janes helped develop more efficient methods for delivering and col- lecting recyclable materials. She is hoping to specialize in biomaterials and advanced textiles while continuing her passion for helping others by working to create adaptive devices and prosthetics. Kaitlyn Khachadoorian North Carolina State University Kaitlyn Khachadoorian is a senior studying materials science and engi- neering at North Carolina State Univer- sity. After completing two collaborative internshipsworkingonmaterials analy- sis and root-cause investigation as a defectivity design engineer at ASML, she is motivated to drive advancements in the semiconduc- tor industry. Khachadoorian is an All-American and Scholar Athlete on the NC State Cheerleading Team, as well as a member of the Honors Program, Grand Challenge Scholars Program, and University Ambassadors, and chairperson of the NC State Material Advantage Chapter. Owen Murdock The Ohio State University Owen Murdock is a senior major- ing in welding engineering at The Ohio State University (OSU). He has received recognition and awards from numer- ous organizations, including ASM, AWS, NACE, and the Ohio House of Represen- tatives. In 2021, Murdock was selected as a DAAD RISE scholar in Germany, where he assisted in doctoral materials science and engineering research at RWTH Aachen University. OSU granted approval for Mur- dock to complete his senior year as a full-time researcher with BMW (Munich), coinciding with his senior capstone project. He plans to continue this research for his master’s thesis under the tutelage of Dr. Peter Mayr at the Technical University of Munich. Acta Materialia Scholarships The Acta Materialia Scholarships were established in 2017 by Acta Materialia through its Board of Governors, as an expression of commitment to education and the mate- rials science and engineering community. Two scholars will each receive a certificate and check for $5000 toward educa- tional expenses for one academic year. Emma Arterbury Colorado School of Mines Emma Arterbury is a rising junior at Colorado School of Mines, studying metallurgical and materials engineer- ing. She has performed undergraduate research under the supervision of Rob- ert Cryderman in the Advanced Steel Products and Processing Research Center at Mines for the past year, discovering a passion for problem solving, metic- ulous record keeping, and out-of-the-box thinking. Arter- bury aspires to obtain a Ph.D. in metallurgical and materials engineering and become a professor. 2021 SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
