Elizabeth Holm Publications Director

Elizabeth A. Holm is a distinguished member of the technical staff in the Materials and Process Modeling Department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Sandia National Laboratories. She is a computational materials scientist with a longstanding interest in bringing materials modeling to industrial practice. Over her 11 years at Sandia, she has worked on simulations to improve processes for lighting manufacture, microcircuit aging and reliability, and the processing of advanced-bearing steels.

Her research areas include the theory and modeling of microstructural evolution in complex polycrystals, the physical and mechanical response of microstructures, and the wetting and spreading of liquid metals. Holm obtained her B.S.E in materials science and engineering from the University of Michigan, S.M. in ceramics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Ph.D. in materials science and engineering and scientific computing from the University of Michigan.

Within TMS, she has served as chair of the Chemistry and Physics of Materials Committee, the Computer Simulation Committee, and the Structural Materials Division council, and she is active in the Electronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials Division and Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division councils. She has received several professional honors and awards, is a fellow of ASM International, and serves on the National Materials Advisory Board of the U.S. National Academies. Holm has authored or co-authored more than 60 publications.
