HIGHLIGHTS ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | JULY/AUGUST 2024 60 Engineering Materials Achievement Award Dr. Mehrooz Zamanzadeh, FASM, Mr. Anil Kumar Chikkam, Ms. Carolyn Tome, Mr. Nathan Pace, Mr. Chris Desmond (not pictured), and Dr. Peyman Taheri, from Matergenics Materials and Energy Solutions, Pittsburgh, will receive this year’s award for “Advanced Sensor for RealTime Monitoring of Temperature and Corrosion, Capable of Withstanding 2000°F and Delivering Essential Data Before, During, and Following Exposure to Wildfires.” Established in 1969, this award recognizes an outstanding achievement in materials or materials systems relating to the application of knowledge of materials to an engineering structure or to the design and manufacture of a product. 2024 AWARD PROGRAM HONOREES Zamanzadeh Chikkam Tome Pace Taheri Albert Sauveur Achievement Award Prof. Robert Vaßen, FASM, deputy director and department head, Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH, Germany, will receive this year’s award “for pioneering the development of advanced high temperature ceramics, especially thermal barrier, environmental barrier, and abradable coatings, through unique contributions of new materials, coating microstructures, and layered systems.” Established in 1934 in honor of a distinguished teacher, metallographer, and metallurgist, the award recognizes pioneering materials science and engineering achievements that have stimulated organized work along similar lines to such an extent that a marked basic advance was made in the knowledge of materials science and engineering. William Hunt Eisenman Award Dr. Daniel Dennies, FASM, principal and CEO, DMS Inc., Foothill Ranch, Calif., will receive this year’s award “for continuous and significant develop- ment and application of materials science and engineering first principles in design, production and failure analysis in the aerospace industry.” The award was established in 1960, in memory of a founding member of ASM, and its first and only secretary for 40 years. It recognizes unusual achievements in industry in the practical application of materials science and engineering through production or engineering use. J. Willard Gibbs Phase Equilibria Award Prof. Bo G. Sundman, professor emeritus, OpenCalphad, Gif-sur-Yvette, France, will receive this year’s award “for foundational contributions to the development of CALPHAD models and the Thermo-Calc software that substantially accelerated the worldwide adoption of computational thermo- dynamics and kinetics.” The award honors J. Willard Gibbs, one of America’s greatest theoretical scientists. In addition to many other contributions, Gibbs laid the thermodynamic foundations of phase equilibria theory with his brilliant essay “On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances,” published in 1876 and 1878 in the Transactions of the Connecticut Academy. Allan Ray Putnam Service Award Dr. David Furrer, FASM, senior fellow discipline lead, Pratt & Whitney, East Hartford, Conn., will receive this year’s award “for long and devoted service to ASM International, and efforts to support and grow the aerospace material community through efforts to champion computational materials and process modeling.” Established in 1988, the award recognizes the exemplary efforts of various outstanding members of ASM International on behalf of the Society to further its objectives and goals. The purpose of this award is to recognize those individuals whose contributions have been especially noteworthy and to whom the Society owes a particularly great debt of appreciation.
