We look forward to celebrating your future success! whose projects featured materials or materials science in their development, testing, or analysis. The following win- ners were awarded special medallions and monetary prizes: • Jabe Cox – 10th grade – Upper Darby H.S., Drexel Hill, Pa. – “Bioplastics” • Kehbuma Nukuna – 11th grade – The Charter School of Wilmington, Del. – “The E ects of Strengthening Polymers on the Infrastructural Lifespan of Industrial Concrete” • Cameron Schmidt – 12th grade – Central Bucks H.S., Doylestown, Pa. – “Usability of Recycled ABS via Filament Extrusion for 3D Printing Applications” Chennai Celebrates Platinum Jubilee On the occasion of India celebrating its 75th Indepen- dence Day on August 15, the ASM International Chennai Chapter and ASM Material Advantage Chapters (IIT Madras, NIT Trichy, and SRM IST) organized two special events. First, they held a one-day online workshop on “Frontiers in Materials” on August 14. On August 15, a Platinum Jubi- lee Independence Day Special Lecture was given by Dr. U. Kamachi Mudali, now an ASM trustee. He presented “Plat- inum Jubilee and Beyond: Materials Demand and Issues.” The events were attended by budding engineers, students, research scholars, practicing engineers, academicians, and scientists. MA Bangladesh Holds Symposium The Material Advantage (MA) Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) Chapter organized an online interactive symposium on July 15-18 entitled “The Material Symposium 2021: Bridging the Experiential Gap” with a goal of connecting students with distinguished indi- viduals in materials and metallurgy. A variety of experience was provided by the 13 invited speakers, researchers, and industry professionals. Session topics included: Materi- als 4.0, Opportunities in Bangladesh and Abroad, Scopes Beyond Engineering, Women in Materials Science, Bioma- terials, Machine Learning, and Additive Manufacturing. The first keynote speaker was Zi-Kui Liu, FASM, the Dorothy Pate Enright Professor at Pennsylvania State University and director of the Phases Research Laboratory. Alphons A. Ant- onysamy (CEng FIMMM), a principal materials scientist of additive manufacturing at GKN Aerospace UK, was the sec- ond keynote speaker. Each session had audiences of more than 200 students. Rocky Mountain Presents Nano Lecture Dr. Suveen N. Mathaudhu from the metallurgical and materials engineer- ing department of the Colorado School of Mines was the speaker for the Rocky Mountain Chapter’s technical meeting, held virtually on September 2. He pre- sented a talk entitled “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom…for Ultrastrong Nanostructured Mg-Alloys.” He covered the latest strategies for synthesis and fabrication of these alloys—despite having the lowest den- sity of all structural metallic materials—and opportunities for this emerging class of materials.
