HIGHLIGHTS ADVANCED MATERIALS & PROCESSES | OCTOBER 2024 57 MEMBERS IN THE NEWS network, and catch up with each other. Our FA community is small, yet tight-knit, and I find it extremely satisfying to help facilitate my peers gathering and strengthening their professional and personal connections. What are your hobbies? Volunteering, empowering women, gardening, reading, yoga, board games, and mixology. Favorite motto? Bravery, not perfection. Last book that you read? “The 16 Undeniable Laws of Communication” by John C. Maxwell. Do you know someone who should be featured in an upcoming Face of Materials Engineering profile? Contact Vicki Burt at vicki.burt@asminternational.org. MEMBERS IN THE NEWS Fellows Contribute to NAE Publications Several ASM members who are also members of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) recently lent their expertise to The Bridge. This quarterly NAE publication seeks to provide information on current issues that are at the intersection of engineering and society, and to promote education and dialogue around these topics. The summer 2024 issue on “Critical Materials” features a guest editorial and article by Jennie Hwang, as well as articles on sustainable materials by Paul Krajewski, Diran Apelian, and Alan Luo. The spring 2024 issue covers “The U.S. Metals Industry: Looking Forward.” The guest editorial on challenges and opportunities for domestic metals is by Aziz Asphahani and Greg Olson. Charlie Kuehmann provided an article on concurrent design of materials and systems. All contributors listed here are ASM Fellows. To read these special issues of The Bridge, visit nae.edu. Colas Honored with State Medal Rafael Colas, FASM, received the State of Nuevo León Medal at a special ceremony held on August 19 at the City Hall of Monterrey, Mexico. The medal has been awarded every year since 1987 to 12 Mexican residents in Nuevo León. It is the highest award given from the state government to its citizens. Colas was recognized for his work on technological developments through his post as professor at Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León and in collaboration with metal processing companies located in Northeast Mexico as well as institutions in Europe and the Americas. The medal was presented by State Governor Dr. Samuel García Sepúlveda. Following the ceremony, awardees were invited to a reception at the Government Palace. Colas is a member of the ASM Mexico Chapter. Rafael Colas acknowledges applause a er receiving a 2024 State of Nuevo León Medal. IN MEMORIAM Stephen Dale Antolovich, FASM, 84, emeritus professor at Georgia Tech and Washington State University, passed away on July 25. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1962 and 1963, and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1966. After a brief stint at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a staff scientist, he joined the faculty at the University of Cincinnati in 1968 in the department of materials science and metallurgical engineering, becoming a full professor in 1974. In 1983, he moved to the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and served as the founding director of the School of Materials Science and Engineering. Ten years later, Antolovich moved to Washington State University in Pullman, as professor and director of the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. He was internationally known for his research to understand fracture, fatigue, and structure-property relationships in metals and composites. He published more than 130 papers with several cited by over 400 researchers, totaling 4433 citations. His awards included the ASME Nadai Medal, ASME Fellow, Fellow of the International Congress on Fracture, the Reaumur Medal from the French Metallurgical Society, Outstanding Teacher Award from the University of Cincinnati, and Outstanding Research Development Award from Georgia Tech.
