“We are very honored by this award and see it as a great recognition and encouragement. The subject of inert anodes in aluminum electrolysis cells will continue to be of great interest in the years to come.

I have maintained active participation in TMS annual meetings and TMS Industrial Aluminum Electrolysis courses for a number of years. TMS has given me the opportunity to present research work and get it printed in the Light Metals Books, which now have become the major source of new information in the field of aluminum production. Also, I have benefited from the professional and personal relationships with fellow TMS members. “
