Dr. Lados has been a member of ASM International since 2000 and served as ASM trustee in 2018-2021. She earned her B.S./M.S. in mechanical engineering from Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1997, her second M.S. in mechan- ical engineering from Southern Illinois University in 1999, and her doctorate in materials science and engineering from WPI in 2004. Lados is also founder and director of the Integrative Materials Design Center (iMdc), an industry-gov- ernment-university consortium established at WPI in 2007, dedicated to advancing the frontiers of sustainable mate- rials-process-component design and manufacturing for high-performance and reliability. Lados is credited with significant research contributions in the areas of materials design, characterization, evaluation, and computational modeling for fatigue, fatigue crack growth, and high-tem- perature performance, as well as for her original work in materials processing and advanced manufacturing. Lados is actively engaged in several professional societies, includ- ing ASM, where she has organized symposia and served on several committees including the Awards Policy Commit- tee, Technical Committees and Academic Engagement Task Force—which she launched, DEI Task Force, Emerging Pro- fessionals Committee, and is an active member of the Cen- tral Massachusetts Chapter of ASM. Additionally, Lados is president of Alpha Sigma Mu, the international honor soci- ety for the field of materials science and engineering. Lados received the ASM Silver Medal in 2012 and was installed as an ASM Fellow in 2017. ASM Officers Appoint Members In accordance with the ASM International Constitution, ASM president Dr. Judith A. Todd, FASM, vice president Dr. David B. Williams, FASM, and immediate past president Diana M. Essock, FASM, appointed nine members to the Nominating Committee from among candidates proposed by chapters, committees, councils, and ASM Affiliate Society boards. This year, the committee is responsible for select- ing a nominee for senior vice president-trustee (one-year term), a nominee for vice president-trustee (one-year term), and for nominating three trustees (three-year terms).
