Scenes from Tuesday at TMS2018
Michele Manuel, University of Florida; Martin Thuo, Iowa State University; and Amanda Krause, Lehigh University shared their experiences and fielded audience members' questions during a panel discussion on the topic of minorities in leadership, part of the one-day symposium, Looking through the Kaleidoscope: Discovering Your Path to Leadership.
Three TMS members were honored at Tuesday's Acta Materialia Symposium, which was organized by Carolyn Hansson of the University of Waterloo. First, the symposium honored Subhash Mahajan of the University of California with the Acta Materialia Gold Medal. George (Rusty) Gray III, Chair & Treasurer/TMS Governor for Acta, presented on behalf of Mahajan, looking at Mahajan's career work with deformation twins in metallic crystals. Nikhilesh Chawla, Arizona State University, who received the Acta Materialia Silver Medal honoring leaders aged 45 or under, delivered a presentation on work being done at Arizona State's new 4-D Materials Science Center. Julie Christodoulou, Office of Naval Research, who was honored with the Hollomon Award for Materials and Society, delivered the final presentation on materials science and engineering in the era of additive manufacturing. Pictured, speaking, from left to right, are Hansson, Gray, Chawla, and Christodoulou.
Garry Warren welcomed guests and honorees to the TMS Foundation Donor Recognition Event, noting, “As donors, you have made a big difference in the lives of young people and their careers. Thank you from the TMS Foundation for the many lives that you have touched.” Amber Genau, a 2014 MPMD Young Leader Award recipient and the 2018 JIM Young Leader International Scholar recipient, offered a few remarks on the impact that the TMS Foundation had made on her career. “The intent of the Young Leader awards is to give a young professional member the confidence to become more involved. It worked. I am grateful that TMS valued my voice. The opportunities that the TMS Foundation afforded me have touched my career and will continue to help it grow.”
As is the tradition at this event, Genau then presented the 2018 TMS Foundation Honorific Society inductees with their society pin. This year's inductees are Rob and Robyn Wagoner (inaugural members of the new Platinum Society), Ken Kinsman (Gold Society), Ed Herderick (Titanium Society), Marc Meyers (Titanium Society), Patrice and Michele Turchi (Titanium Society), Tina and Dan Miracle (Silver Society), and Bob and Mary Shull (Silver Society).
Tuesday morning’s Materials and Manufacturing Innovation Keynote featured a session on Big Data and Machine Learning for Materials. Organized by Carelyn Campbell, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the following individuals delivered presentations on this topic: Jed W. Pitera, IBM Research – Almaden, “Big Data for Materials R&D, Deployment, and Lifecycle”; Elizabeth A. Holm, Carnegie Mellon University, “How Materials Science Can Capitalize on Advances in Computer Science through Data Science and Machine Learning”; Laura Biven, U.S. Department of Energy, “Perspectives on Data Intensive Science from the DOE Office of Science”; and Ian Foster, University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory, “Going Smart and Deep on Materials.”

Attendees of the Young Professional Tutorial Luncheon Lecture were treated to talks from both recipients of the Early Career Faculty Fellow Award. The first speaker, Sung Woo Nam (pictured speaking, right), Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois, delivered his lecture titled, “Designing and Shaping Nano-materials via Controlled Mechanical Deformations.” This was followed by a lecture from Cong Wang (pictured speaking, left), entitled “Oxide Metallurgy: From Concept to Practice." Wang is an assistant professor at Northeastern University, Shenyang, China.
Attendees had the opportunity to browse new poster displays, talk with exhibitors, and enjoy happy hour with their colleagues last evening in the TMS2018 Exhibit Hall. Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. today next to the exhibit hall. The exhibit closes at 2:00 today, so take this final opportunity to visit exhibitor displays.
