River Carson University of Wisconsin-Madison River Carson is a senior in mate- rials science and engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a second major in mathematics. His plan is to pursue a Ph.D. focused on x-ray diffractometry or another area where he can use his background in mathematics. During the first year of the COVID-19 pan- demic, Carson took a gap year to work as a potter and use his knowledge of materials science to focus on the devel- opment of a thermal-shock-resistant clay cookware body. Now returned to his position as president of the Material Advantage/American Foundry Society, UW-Madison Student Chapter, he hopes to solidify the recent establishment of the club forge that was disrupted by the pandemic. Griffin Tong University of Wisconsin-Madison Griffin Tong is a junior in the materials science and engineering program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. As an undergraduate research assistant in the John H. Perepezko group, he focuses his studies on high-tempera- ture structural materials and heat treatment. He is also dedi- cated to supporting his peers as co-president of the Material Advantage Chapter at UW-Madison and as an Undergradu- ate Learning Center tutor. Tong’s goal is to earn his Ph.D. and advance the field as a researcher and educator. 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. Emmie Benard Arizona State University Emmie Benard is a rising junior at Arizona State University (ASU), study- ing materials science and engineer- ing. She has worked on fabricating and characterizing photodetectors for medical imaging in the Radiological Instrumentation Laboratory at the Uni- versity of California, Santa Cruz where she obtained second authorship on a review article. She is also a researcher in the Quantum Materials and Applications Laboratory at ASU, synthesizing and characterizing nanomaterials. Benard works as an undergraduate teaching assistant for an intro- Cassidy Sjovall South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Cassidy Sjovall is entering her junior year at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, studying metal- lurgical engineering. She enjoys the combination of aspects of mechanical engineering and chemistry that are involved with metallurgical engineering. Sjovall maintains a 4.0 GPA while serving as vice president of her school’s chapter of the Society of Women Engineers, treasurer of the SDSMT Baja SAE team, and participating in Material Advan- tage events. She recently finished a co-op with Nucor-Yam- ato Steel Co. David J. Chellman Scholarship The David J. 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. Gladys Durán Durán Instituto Tecnologico de Morelia Gladys Durán Durán is enrolled in her final year at Instituto Tecnologico de Morelia, majoring in materials engi- neering and specializing in metallurgy and welding. In addition to metallic glasses field research work, she has experience speaking at national and international congresses, winning third place in the under- graduate speaking competition at MS&T20. She participated in the Cast in Steel 2021 Competition organized by the Steel Founders’ Society of America, and she served as chair of the student chapter of Morelia that achieved recognition as Stu- dent Chapter of Excellence by the Material Advantage pro- gram. Durán Durán is fascinated with materials science and its role in aerospace and green energy development. Ladish Co. Foundation Scholarships 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. Students must be a Wisconsin resident and must attend a Wiscon- sin university to qualify. Two scholars were selected this 2021 SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
