Honors and Awards

The mission of TMS is to promote the global science and engineering professions concerned with minerals, metals, and materials.

Recipients: Fellow Class of 2010

The highest honor bestowed by The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, the honorary class of Fellow was established in 1962; Charter Fellows were inducted in 1963. To be inducted, a candidate must be recognized as an eminent authority and contributor within the broad field of metallurgy, with a strong consideration of outstanding service to the Society. Visit the TMS Professional Honors and Awards page for more information and nomination instructions.

Recipient PhotoRecipient Jeff DeHosson

Citation: For his outstanding contributions to structure-property relationships in materials.

Quote: “I consider the Fellow Award as a major honor in the international community of materials science and an important milestone in my career. TMS played a crucial role in my scientific life since the society provided me a forum for the dissemination of my scientific accomplishments. Most importantly: the award is based on the recognition by my peers, i.e. my outstanding colleagues whose critical opinion I value most. Thanks are due to my research group, to the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials-Groningen and the Netherlands Materials Innovation Institute for their continuous support.”

Biography: Jeff DeHosson is a professor in the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

Recipient PhotoRecipient James W. Evans

Citation: For his pioneering and seminal work in extractive/process metallurgy and his reputation as a leader in this field worldwide.

Quote: “My years of membership in TMS, since the late 70s, have taught me much that has been valuable in my career and given me the opportunity to interact with my colleagues in the society to my great benefit. The Fellows of TMS are a highly distinguished group of people and I am deeply honored by this award.”

Biography: James W. Evans is a professor of metallurgy and holder of the P. Malozemoff Endowed Chair in Mineral Engineering in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of California, Berkeley.

Recipient PhotoRecipient Easo P. George

Citiation: For his outstanding contributions to understanding deformation and fracture in intermetallic and metallic alloys and to designing new materials and functional use.

Quote: “It is indeed a great pleasure to be elected TMS Fellow. I joined TMS as a student, shortly after which I went to my first technical meeting, giving a talk in one of the General Abstract Session, made my first outside scientific contacts, and was hooked. The impact of TMS on my professional development – through meetings, publications, and friends made along the way – is immeasurable, and I am profoundly grateful for it.”

Biography: Easo P. George heads the Alloying Behavior and Design Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and is a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Tennessee.

Recipient Richard Hoagland

Recipient PhotoCitation: Outstanding contributions in fracture mechanics and atomistic modeling of dislocation mechanisms of deformation and fracture in a broad range of materials.

Quote: “Well, this is really something! If I have done anything to deserve this recognition it is because I have had the mighty broad shoulders of colleagues and mentors to stand on, and the help of the best students and Post Docs anyone could hope for. Some are listed among the TMS Fellows alumni. But many others are, or have been, at places like Battelle, Ohio State University, McMaster University, Washington State University and Los Alamos National Lab. TMS meetings have been important to me because they have provided a forum where I can meet these friends again, for exchanging new results with them and others, and for learning new things. And, above all, learning is what it is all about, isn’t it.”

Biography: Richard Hoagland is a retired technical staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

Recipient Philip J. Mackey

Recipient PhotoCitation: For the development of a new metallurgical processes for the production of non-ferrous metals, long service to the metallurgical community and in particular for bridging copper metallurgists of the two Americas.

Quote: “TMS has always been an exciting and important organization for me. Throughout my career, it has played an important role in my professional life. Through TMS, I have met and worked with leaders in the industry. I first joined TMS in 1996 and it remains as relevant today as back then. It is a great honor and privilege to be recognized as a recipient of the 2010 TMS Fellow Award.”

Biography: Phillip J. Mackey is a retired Process Support, Extractive Metallurgy, Xstrata Nickel of Canada.
