Quote: “It is a great honor, indeed, to be elected as a Fellow of TMS. It is very important to point out that in reality this honor recognizes the superb efforts of those post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students with whom over the past 32 years I have had the extreme pleasure to work. I would also recognize with fond gratitude those who gave me a great start in life, namely my academic mentor, Professor Michael Loretto, at Birmingham, and my first academic boss, the late Professor Charlie Wert, at Illinois. TMS is the most comprehensive materials society, coupling academia, national laboratories and industry, integrating undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and faculty, scientists, technologists and engineers. Being a member of this society has provided me with the necessary infrastructure for the development of my career, and for this I am extremely grateful.”
