 Recipient Tsu-Wei Chou
“The first journal paper in my professional career was published in Met. Trans. of AIME. From my early days modeling the behavior of dislocations to my more recent study of nanostructured materials, I have always enjoyed attending AIME/TMS conferences. Having worked in fiber composites based on ceramic, metal, and polymer matrices, I have found that TMS can provide me with the broad and rich knowledge/information base for all of my studies. I treasure this award, particularly for the encouragement of TMS to my interdisciplinary approach to research.”
Citation:
For his seminal contributions to the mechanics of nanocomposites and anisotropic heterogeneous materials.
Biography:
Tsu-Wei Chou is a professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. |
 Recipient Campbell Laird
“I am thrilled to receive a 2008 Fellow Award from TMS and as I enter retirement, to be recognized by my scientific and engineering colleagues of the Society who have for many years provided me with education, encouragement, stimulation, and fun.”
Citation:
For his discovery of the mechanism of fatigue crack propagation and for pioneering studies of stress-strain response and general fatigue behavior.
Biography:
Campbell Laird is a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. |
 Recipient David E. Laughlin
“TMS has always been an important part of my professional career. In particular, the various conferences held throughout the year are places where I am able to learn about new and exciting things in our field. The journals are also a source of learning as have been the three solid-solid phase transformations conferences that TMS has sponsored over the last 25 years. To be elected as a Fellow of TMS is an honor that I hope to continue to live up to in my service in the TMS community.”
Citation:
For outstanding achievements and research on phase transformations and magnetic materials, and for exceptional teaching and editorial contributions to the materials science community.
Biography:
David E. Laughlin is a professor in the Materials Science and Engineering department at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and editor of Metallurgical and Materials Transactions.

Recipient S. Lee Semiatin
 “I have been a member of TMS for over 30 years. The opportunity to interact with TMS colleagues from academia, industry, and government laboratories has been invaluable with regard to formulating the fundamental and multi-disciplinary efforts typically required for the solution of processing problems as well as transferring final results to industrial practice. I am very grateful to my early mentors and to numerous co-workers who have made significant contributions to our R&D over many years. It is indeed a special honor to receive this recognition from my colleagues in TMS to join the distinguished group of past TMS Fellows.”
Citation:
For outstanding contributions to the science and technology of thermomechanical processing of aerospace alloys.
Biography:
S. Lee Semiatin is a senior scientist with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
