Koch is a professor at North Carolina State University in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. He earned B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in metallurgy from Case Institute of Technology in 1959, 1961, and 1946, respectively. Prof. Koch has published over 190 journal articles, edited five books, and awarded three patents. He was the first to show that metallic glasses can be produced by mechanical alloying. Prof. Koch is a fellow of APS, ASM International, and AAAS; received the ALCOA Foundation Distinguished Engineering Research Award; served on the WTEC/NSF panel on nanoparticles and nanostructure technology; and ranked third in the world in the number of citations per paper for 1990–1994 for high impact papers in materials science.

Quote: “Being chosen to receive the TMS Fellow award is the most important recognition I have received for my career in metallurgy and materials science. While I am a fellow of three other societies, the TMS Fellow Award is clearly the most prestigious. With only a maximum of 100 living TMS fellows, I am greatly honored to be included in this select group of highly respected colleagues. I wish to thank all my colleagues and students for their help in my research which made this award possible.”

John W. Morris, Jr. Citation: "For broad and outstanding contributions to metallurgy and materials science, including phase transformations, cryogenic steels and superalloys, electromigration, and joining in electronic packaging." Biography: John W. Morris, Jr. is a professor of metallurgy at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Morris earned both a B.S. in metallurgy in 1964 and an Sr.D. in materials science in 1969 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has taught introductory materials science to over 5,000 undergraduates and supervised more than 50 Ph.D. theses in over thirty years. Dr. Morris authored more than 250 published papers on mechanical behavior, high-strength steel and aluminum alloys, behavior of solder contacts and thin-film interconnects in microelectronics, and theory of thermodynamics and phase transformations. He has received numerous honors and awards, including the TMS Robert Lansing Hardy Gold Medal.

Quote: “As a metallurgist with interests in research and education, I have always considered TMS my primary technical society affiliation. Through my entire career it has been the natural home for metallurgical research. The grade of Fellow in TMS is a particular honor. It is significant that I know personally all of my fellow inductees, and have known and followed their work for many years. I feel privileged to join them in this year’s class of TMS Fellows.”

Gregory B. Olson Citation: "For advances in the physical metallurgy of steel, pioneering contributions to materials design, and application of design concepts to engineering education." Biography: Gregory B. Olson is the Wilson-Cook Professor of Engineering Design in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University and codirector of the Materials Technology Laboratory. Dr. Olson earned both a B.S. and an M.S. in 1970 and a Ph.D. in 1974 in Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the founder of Questek Innovations, the first computational materials design company, and director of the multi-institutional Steel Research Group, which pioneers computational materials design. He has also been a faculty advisor to Enterprise Club, promoting student entrepreneurship in engineering. He has received numerous honors and awards, including fellow of ASM International, the Iron & Steel Society Tenenbaum Award, the ASM International Alpha Sigma Mu Lecturer, and the Industry Week Technology of the Year Award.

Quote: “It is a great honor to join the company of leaders of our profession such as Cyril Smith and Morris Cohen, whom I deeply admire. I hope it helps with the difficult task of giving our profession a future.”

Sungho Jin Citation: "For seminal discoveries in the fields of high temperature superconductor processing, diamond thinning, and collossal magnetoresistance." Biography: Sungho Jin is a technical manager in the Applied Materials and Metallurgy Department of Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technology.He earned a B.S. in metallurgical engineering from Seoul National University in 1969. He earned an M.S. in metallurgy in 1971 and a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering in 1974, both from the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Jin organized the first six TMS symposia on lead-free solders in 1993–1997.
