Recipient: 2002 Champion H. Mathewson Award

Man H. Yoo Paper: “Physical Constants, Deformation Twinning and Microcracking in Titanium Aluminides” Biography: Man H. Yoo is a distinguished research staff member of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and has been associated with the laboratory since 1967. He was also a guest scientist at the National Research Institute for Metals, Japan, and Max-Plank Institut Fur Eisenforschung, Germany, and a visiting professor at Technische Universitat Hamburg, Germany, and Tohoku University, Japan. Dr. Yoo earned a B.S. in civil engineering in 1960, an M.S. in applied mechanics in 1962, and a Ph.D. in physical metallurgy in 1965 from Michigan State University. He has published more than 180 papers and edited three books.

Quote: “TMS provides an outstanding forum for the exchange of scientific information and ideas in materials research. This has played an important role in our research on defect properties and mechanical behavior of intermetallics. We thank TMS for this prestigious honor.”

Chong Fu Paper: “Physical Constants, Deformation Twinning and Microcracking in Titanium Aluminides” Biography: Chong Fu is a distinguished research staff member of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Dr. Fu earned an M.S. in applied physics from Tohoku University in 1979 and a Ph.D. in physics from Iowa State University in 1983. He has authored or coauthored more than 100 publications and is the recipient of the 1991 DOE Outstanding Scientific Accomplishment Award.

Quote: “TMS is an active society to encourage the interaction between solid state physics and traditional physical metallurgy. In this regard, it is particularly gratifying to have our interdisciplinary research being selected and recognized. It is an honor to receive this award.”
