HIGHLIGHTS ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | JULY/AUGUST 2024 61 Albert Easton White Distinguished Teacher Award Prof. C. Ravi Ravindran, FASM, professor, department of mechanical and industrial engineering, Toronto Metropolitan University, will receive this year’s award “for superb teaching attributes, outstanding research achievements in the processing of materials, and a lifetime commitment to excellence in professional service, all of which has provided inspiration for his students.” The award was established in 1960 in memory of an outstanding teacher and research engineer, who was a founding member and president of ASM in 1921. It recognizes unusually long and devoted service in teaching as well as significant accomplishments in materials science and engineering and an unusual ability to inspire and impart enthusiasm to students. Silver Medal Award Dr. Khalid M. Hattar, associate professor of nuclear engineering, director of Tennessee Ion Beam Materials Lab, University of Tennessee, Knoxville will receive this year’s award “for groundbreaking technical advances in the field of in situ ion irradiation TEM and SEM and radiation damage effects in engineering materials.” Dr. Keith A. Serrels, technical lead team, NXP Semiconductors, Austin, Texas, will receive this year’s award “for originating, implementing, and leading the inaugural electronic device failure analysis Technology Roadmap program, and for sustained research and development of the advanced optical fault isolation technique.” Established in 2010, the honor of Silver Medal of the Society recognizes members who are in mid-career positions (typically 10 to 20 years of experience), for distinguished contributions in the field of materials science and engineering, and the Society. The purpose of this award is to recognize leadership at an early stage and encourage individuals to grow, nurture, and further contribute to the growth of the profession, as well as the Society. 2024 AWARD PROGRAM HONOREES Bronze Medal Award Dr. Mary K. O’Brien, scientist, Los Alamos National Lab, N.M., will receive this year’s award “for fundamental characterization of hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms in actinides, development of safer steel pipeline heat treatments, and outstanding volunteerism to ASM International and the ASM Education Foundation.” Established in 2014, the honor recognizes ASM members who are in early career positions, typically 0 to 10 years of experience, for significant contributions in the field of materials science and engineering through technical content and service to ASM and the materials science profession. Bradley Stoughton Award for Early Career Teachers Prof. Victoria M. Miller, assistant professor, materials science and engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, will receive this year’s award “for dedication to her students’ success via enthusiastic teaching, devoted mentoring, and promotion of the materials profession.” This award, accompanied by $3000, was established in 1952 in memory of an outstanding teacher in metallurgy and dean of engineering who was president of ASM in 1942. The award recognizes early career teachers of materials science, materials engineering, and design and processing, by rewarding them for their ability to impart knowledge and enthusiasm to students. The recipient must have no more than 10 years teaching experience at the time of nomination. Henry Marion Howe Medal Kwai S. Chan, MESI Technologies LLC, San Antonio, will receive this year’s award for his paper entitled, “Incorporating Dislocation Mechanisms into a Phenomenological Cyclic Plasticity Model for Structural Alloys.” The award was established in 1923 in memory of a distinguished teacher, metallurgist, and consultant, to honor the author(s) whose paper was selected as the best of those published in a specific volume of Metallurgical and Materials Transactions.
