HIGHLIGHTS ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | OCTOBER 2023 48 Edward J. Dulis Scholarship The Edward J. Dulis Scholarship was established in 2003 and is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate member of ASM at the junior or senior level who demonstrates exemplary academic and personal achievements, as well as interest and potential in metallurgy or materials science and engineering. One scholar will receive a certificate and check for $1500 toward educational expenses for one academic year. Andrew Jordan The University of Alabama Andrew Jordan is a junior studying metallurgical and materials engineering at The University of Alabama. He started undergraduate research this past summer studying the oxidation resistance of complex concentrated alloys, refractory metals, high entropy alloys for hypersonic applications, and thermodynamic modeling of materials. In addition, Jordan is a third-year member of the university’s Million Dollar Band where he plays the marimba alongside his academic studies. After graduation, Jordan plans to complete an accelerated master’s program at The University of Alabama. John M. Haniak Scholarship The John M. Haniak Scholarship was established in 2003 and is awarded to an outstanding undergraduate member of ASM at the junior or senior level who demonstrates exemplary academic and personal achievements, as well as interest and potential in metallurgy or materials science and engineering. One scholar will receive a certificate and check for $1500 toward educational expenses for one academic year. Adam Sipe The Pennsylvania State University Adam Sipe is a rising junior studying materials science and engineering in the Schreyer Honors College at The 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 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 chapter of the Alpha Kappa Psi professional co-ed business fraterHer passion for materials has evolved through her research efforts within the department at McMaster. England also has a passion for humanitarianism, so she is an avid volunteer for Covenant House, a non-profit organization committed to helping homeless, trafficked, and at-risk youth. She organizes food drives and fundraisers, and held the first-ever McMaster Covenant House Sleep Out, allowing students to stand in solidarity with these youth. In the future, she hopes to research and design products that will help people improve their health and live a better quality of life. Ashlie Hamilton University of Minnesota–Twin Cities Ashlie Hamilton, a first-generation student, is entering her fifth year of studies in the Materials Science and Engineering program at the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities (UMN). She discovered her passion for materials science through the REU experience at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She served as an ASM International Student Board Member during the 2022-2023 term and now holds a director position on the MN-ASM International chapter’s executive committee and is an active member of the UMN Chemical Engineering and Materials Science (CEMS) Outreach group. She also serves as a project officer in her university’s Material Advantage program. Looking ahead, Hamilton envisions a career in the medical industry. Irenaeus Wong McMaster University Irenaeus Wong is a materials science and engineering student passionate about applying emerging computational technology and AI to the sustainable development space. He is working to drive the widespread adoption of renewable energy and “net zero” for high-emitting industries through his work as a materials engineer. Last summer, Wong completed an internship in Tokyo where he helped develop novel materials for sustainable grid-scale thermal energy storage. In the past 12 months, he completed three internships in Silicon Valley where he developed computer vision and cloud-based computing technology for photovoltaics at GAF Energy and Tesla, then accelerated manufacturing, materials design, and new product integration automation of lithium-ion batteries at Rivian Automotive. He hopes to continue contributing to materials product design for sustainable energy and manufacturing in the future. SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
