James M. Howe

Paper: “Static and In-Situ High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Investigations of the Atomic Structure and Dynamics of Massive Transformation Interfaces in a Ti-Al Alloy” Metallurgical & Materials Transactions, vol. 33A, August 2002

Biography: James Howe is a professor and director of the Electron Microscope Facility at the University of Virginia. His current research emphasizes the application of highresolution and analytical transmission electron microscope techniques to study the mechanisms and kinetics of phase transformations in nanoparticles and the behavior of interphase boundaries at the atomic level

Prof. Howe has received several prestigious awards for his research, including a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation in 1985, a Humboldt Senior Research Award from the von Humboldt Foundation in Germany in 1999, and the Materials Science Research Silver Medal from ASM International in 2000. He was elected a Fellow of ASM International in 1997.

Vijay K. Vasudevan

Paper: “Static and In-Situ High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Investigations of the Atomic Structure and Dynamics of Massive Transformation Interfaces in a Ti-Al Alloy” Metallurgical & Materials Transactions, vol. 33A, August 2002

Biography: Vijay Vasudevan is a professor at the University of Cincinnati. Since joining the University of Cincinnati in 1988 he has also served as a visiting scientist to the Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials Directorate, at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio; a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the University of Antwerp, Belgium; and a Faculty Research Participant at Argonne National Laboratory.

Quote: “Metallurgical and Materials Transactions is one of the top journals in the field due to its excellent peer review system. To be recognized by this system as making a notable contribution to metallurgical or materials science is truly a great honor. TMS meetings are an ideal forum to exchange ideas and the research reported in this paper is an outcome of that process. It evolved over a period of several years based on discussions at various TMS meetings and was first presented during the Massive Transformation Symposium at the TMS Fall Meeting in 2002. It is particularly satisfying to share this award with fellow TMS members.”
