Featured Presentations

Encores if You Missed Them the First Time

TMS wishes to recognize these Featured Presenters from the TMS 2005 Annual Meeting technical program. The eight Featured Presentations were selected from more than 2,300 contributed papers and are being honored for their technical relevance across all TMS constituencies (industry/academia/government), their global nature, providing a technological overview or focus on an emerging trend, and overall excellence.

In addition to being presented within their respective symposia, each Featured Presenter will provide an encore of his talk at the special Featured Presentations sessions scheduled for Wednesday afternoon – February 16, at the Moscone West Convention Center, Room 2016.
