- Title: General Manager
- Affiliation: Bruker Nano Surfaces Division, Eden Prairie, MN
- Quote: I am thrilled to receive this award because it also honors the great customers, collaborators, colleagues, and mentors who have meant so much to me over the years, and I very much appreciate that it comes from TMS, which is the main society of the nanomechanics community that I call home. I took to heart Sir Humphry Davy’s quote “nothing begets good science like the development of a good instrument,” so it became a passion of mine to encourage scientific discovery through technology advancement. I find it satisfying whenever I learn that breakthrough research has been achieved using an instrument that I had a big hand in creating, not just because of the affirmation of my career, but also because of the contribution to the body of knowledge and the benefit to those who did the research.
- Citation: For the development of advanced commercial nanomechanical testing instrumentation and experimental techniques to determine structure-mechanical property relationships in materials.

- Title: Director and Global Team Leader
- Affiliation: Novelis Corporation, Spokane Valley, WA
- Quote: Thirty years ago, when first I submitted my application to join the society, a group of us would arrive early on Sunday to purchase the proceedings and then dedicate the remainder of the evening to reading each paper in detail so that we were prepared to listen and participate in the sessions that intrigued us most. I continued attending each year to gain a better understanding of the current industry practices. In the early days, every year was also a remarkable opportunity to meet with and hear from my mentors. With the mentors of my youth absent at the sessions of today, I still find myself excited on the Sunday evenings prior to the conference. These days however, I am increasingly excited with the prospect of introducing and adopting new concepts and technology on a large scale. This award recognizes not only my career but also friends and mentors who helped me understand the importance of coupling theory with practical practice, the real recipients of this award.

- Title: Adjunct Professor
- Affiliation: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
- Quote: "I remember fondly attending my first scientific meeting with my thesis professor, Paul Gordon, at the TMS winter meeting in New Orleans in February 1957. This seems like prehistory now: we traveled overnight from Chicago by train and did not dream of computers. Yet a year later, I joined the IBM Research Division and got involved in the problems of materials used in the first solid-state computers. My systematic training as a metallurgist was extremely helpful throughout my career. I thank TMS for recognizing my contributions, however humble they may be. I also want to thank publicly the many unacknowledged friends and colleagues who made all of this possible."
- Citation: "His invention of Al-Cu thin film conductors is widely used in modern computers without which their life would be shortened significantly due to electromigration failures. He has also done seminal work on metal silicide solid state reactions for applications in computers."
