TMS 2010 Annual Meeting Symposium Spotlight:
|
Alternative Energy Resources for Metals and Materials Production
Posted on:
7/2/2009...
Symposium organizers were invited to share some insights on programming for the TMS 2010 Annual Meeting by answering a few simple questions. This Symposium Spotlight focuses on Alternative Energy Resources for Metals and Materials Production. The symposium is organized by Ann M. Hagni, Geoscience Consultant; Neale R. Neelameggham, U.S. Magnesium, LLC; and Robert Palumbo, Valparaiso University. The following are our questions and the organizers’ responses.
Q: In laymen’s terms, why is your symposium important to MSE?
A: Energy is always of great concern to processing engineers due to it being a major cost in processing of materials. Alternative energy is of increasing importance. The Alternative Energy Resources for Metals and Materials Production Symposium is of utmost importance to highly trained engineers and scientists, as well as to the young and inexperienced engineers and scientists. Ideas of new sources of energy, studies of known alternative energy resources, and successes and failures of processing techniques utilizing different energy resources are expected to be presented.
Q: Why should someone plan to present at your symposium, at this meeting?
A: Presenting your current work as either completed research or works-in-progress are encouraged to facilitate communication and collaboration with your colleagues toward improvements and new ideas for alternative energy in processing of metals and materials. This is an urgent and up-and-coming field that will not be going away any time soon. Abstracts in all fields of alternative energy are welcomed.
Abstracts are being accepted through July 15. Click here for further symposium details and to submit an abstract.

TMS Establishes an Exhibitor’s Council
|
Businesses Collaborate to Strengthen Annual Conference
Posted on:
7/2/2009...
TMS recently created an Exhibitor’s Council as a way to give the Society’s business partners a platform to voice insights, vet ideas, and collaborate. The council was established as a way to strengthen the TMS 2010 Annual Meeting & Exhibition, to be held February 14–18 in Seattle, Washington, to benefit both attendees and exhibitors.
Current or past exhibitors of the TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition make up the council and represent diverse demographic and industry focuses. The organizations are: Fives Solios, Pyrotek, Wagstaff, Claudis Peters, Aluminum Consulting Technologies, Rex Materials Group, Murlin Chemicals, Thermo-Calc Software, Life Cycle Engineering, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The council met via teleconference on June 18 to discuss some of the key areas in which TMS can strengthen its exhibit. Topics ranged from increasing the number of visitors to the exhibit hall to encouraging companies to display and demonstrate their new products and services on the show floor.
While some action items are longer-term or need additional investigation, a number of suggestions will be acted upon immediately. Those include increasing the amount of promotional exposure in JOM, developing more synergy between the exhibit and technical sessions, and development of an exhibit-focused e-newsletter.

TMS 2010 Annual Meeting Symposium Spotlight:
|
Biological Materials Science
Posted on:
7/2/2009...
Symposium organizers were invited to share some insights on programming for the TMS 2010 Annual Meeting by answering a few simple questions. This Symposium Spotlight focuses on Biological Materials Science. The symposium is organized by John A. Nychka, University of Alberta; Jamie J. Kruzic, Oregon State University; Mehmet Sarikaya, University of Washington; and Amit Bandyopadhyay, Washington State University. The following are our questions and the organizers’ responses.
Q: In laymen’s terms, why is your symposium important to MSE?
A: The interaction of materials and biological systems is a rapidly growing, interdisciplinary frontier in materials science and engineering with boundless possibilities. The Biological Materials Science symposium emphasizes the primacy of biological materials to the development of biomaterials and biomimetic materials. Advances in all aspects of life from aerodynamics to medical implants have been realized by understanding scientific and engineering principles of biological materials, and our understanding continues to grow.
Q: Why should someone plan to present at your symposium, at this meeting?
A: Like all past Biological Materials Science symposia, the 2010 symposium will offer the opportunity to meet people in various disciplines to spark new ways of thinking about biological materials, and materials science in general. In addition, there are chances to start collaborations with others you may not otherwise meet, so presenting in the symposium is a great way to show your work and make connections. The symposium also hosts a well attended poster session with cash prizes for students. In fact, past winners of the Biological Materials Science symposium have also won the Best of Show prizes for the TMS conference-wide poster competition.
Abstracts are being accepted through July 15. Click here for further symposium details and to submit an abstract.

"I have found my TMS experience to be invaluable. Through attending conferences and utilization of TMS publications, I am able to stay current within the field of intermetallics. While this short account of my TMS experience only briefly highlights the role that TMS membership has played in my career, I hope that it illustrates some of the possibilities that student and professional membership offer for anyone in the materials science field."
