Two scholars will each receive a certificate and check for $5000 toward educational expenses for one academic year. Ashlie Hamilton University of Minnesota-Twin Cities Ashlie Hamilton is entering her fourth year at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, studying materials science and engineering. She discovered her passion for materials science through the Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she simulated electron diffraction of 2D materials in Pinshane Huang’s lab. She is currently working in Nathan Mara’s lab measuring the nanomechanical properties of nanoscale layered Ti-TiN thin films. Outside of research, Hamilton participates in multiple extracurricular activities, including Material Advantage, marching band, Tau Beta Sigma, and traditional karate-do academy. She has served as secretary in Tau Beta Sigma and is currently the project officer in Material Advantage and a student board member for ASM International. Katherine Miller University of Florida Katherine Miller is entering her fourth year of studies in the materials science and engineering program at the University of Florida (UF). In the year since transferring to the university, her fascination for the field has grown steadily through classes pertaining to the field and involvement in the UF chapter of Material Advantage. In addition, Miller is currently involved in this year’s ASM Design Competition, developing remote sensing technology for lunar environments. This fall, she will begin research in nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration. She plans to continue her graduate studies in the field of regenerative medicine. 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 Martin 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 commitment to education and the materials science and engineering community, and is awarded based on academic merit and financial need. Tuition of $2500 for the academic year is awarded through this scholarship. Jennifer Johnson South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Jennifer Johnson’s passion for metals started in middle school with soldering in an engineering class and then welding in high school. She is currently a fourth-year student at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, where she will graduate in May 2023 with her bachelor’s degree in metallurgical engineering and a master’s degree in materials engineering and science. Johnson will also receive a certificate in engineering management from the Industrial Engineering Department. Since freshman year, she has researched extractive and powder metallurgy with her department. Johnson served as president of Material Advantage for her second year and has been an SME officer and more. She has also done a co-op with Nucor and an internship with Vishay Dale Electronics. Her next step is to work in the research and development sector of industry. 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 engineering. Three awards of $2000 each are funded by the ASM Materials Education Foundation. Adam Sipe Pennsylvania State University Adam Sipe is a rising junior studying materials science and engineering in the Schreyer Honors College at Pennsylvania State University. His interest in chemistry was transformed into a fascination with the field of materials science in high school after spending a summer working in a graduate lab at Carnegie Mellon University researching graphene nanomaterials. He carried this interest in nanomaterials to Penn State, where he currently works under Joshua Robinson, Ph.D., doing semiconductor fabrication research. Outside of school, Sipe is a member of the Penn State chapters of Material Advantage, Engineers Without Borders, and the Alpha Kappa Psi professional co-ed business fraternity. After graduation, he plans to spend a few years working in industry before returning to school to pursue a doctorate in materials science and engineering. 2022 SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
