Quote:
“It is with great humility that I accept the 2011 TMS Leadership Award. I am especially honored as great leadership is a quality that so many of my friends and colleagues have demonstrated over the years. They have led our field from "metallurgy" to "materials science and engineering" and are leading us in new directions to address the growing materials challenges that we face globally in energy, the environment, and health care. To be counted among the leaders in materials is indeed humbling, and I feel very fortunate for the opportunities that I have had to work with true leaders in the community and thereby help advance materials education, materials technology, and the materials field.”
