- Title: Physical Scientist
- Affiliation: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD
- Quote: I feel very honored to be selected to receive the 2020 TMS William Hume-Rothery Award. Looking at the list of past recipients only emphasizes what a great honor it is to receive this award. Like Hume-Rothery, I am passionate about working on understanding phase equilibria and intermetallic phases. Unlike Hume-Rothery, I have the fortune of having modern computers for the study of phase equilibria in systems with more than three components and their application to practical problems. I am looking forward to the 2020 symposium to discuss advances in experimental and computational methods for the investigation of phase equilibria and intermetallic phases, as well as application to technological problems.

- Title: Professor of Materials Science
- Affiliation: University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom
- Quote: I am deeply honored to receive this prestigious award from TMS. It provides recognition for the achievements of the entire Oxford team for the development and application of three-dimensional atom probe analysis to the study of phase transformations and phase chemistry in metals and alloys. Professor Hume Rothery played a key role in the establishment of this field of research. I trust that he would be pleased to see this award bestowed upon one of his successors on the faculty of his old department. I would like to dedicate this award especially to the memory of my beloved wife Josie, who sadly passed away last year. She supported me steadfastly in everything I did, and believed in me more than I did myself.
- Citation: For leadership and vision in development of advanced Atom Probe instruments and their application in improving understanding of atomic scale processes in metallurgical transformations.

- Affiliation: California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA
- Quote: I have deep respect for the previous recipients of the Hume-Rothery Award, so it will be a deep honor to receive this award at the TMS annual meeting. I am a regular attendee of these meetings, where I never fail to learn something important from my forward-looking colleagues. My own interest is the entropy of materials, and how the major part of it comes from the vibrations of atoms. New experimental methods of inelastic scattering and the new power of ab initio calculations are now quantifying the individual components of entropy from atoms and electrons. I am optimistic that these new approaches to alloy thermodynamics will empower the next generation of TMS members to better understand and design new materials and devices.
- Citation: For leadership in establishing the importance of vibrational entropy to the phase stability of alloys and for transformational advances in measurement techniques.

- Affiliation: National Institute of Standards & Technology, Gaithersburg, MD
- Quote: I am honored to be chosen for the 2015 William Hume-Rothery Award of TMS. I have been a frequent speaker and learner at TMS meetings since 1972. TMS is the best materials society that combines the engineering and science of metallurgy. Hume-Rothery embodied the transformation of metallurgy from an empirical practice to one embracing the increasing knowledge of materials obtained from all fields of science during the mid-twentieth century. I am humbled to be added to the list of awardees.
- Citation: For outstanding contributions to thermodynamics and kinetics of metallurgical systems and their application to the understanding of alloy microstructures and the relationship to processing conditions.

- Title: Professor
- Affiliation: Clausthal University of Technology, Clausthal Zellerfeld, Germany
- Quote: It is a major honor for me to be chosen as recipient of the 2014 William Hume-Rothery Award. The phase formation in materials is in the focus of my research ever since leaping - after my graduation in physics with a thesis in quantum theory - to a foundry technology institute, facing the production of real alloys, to earn my Ph.D. in Engineering. It is this fusion of theory with real life that fascinates me. I try to follow the great pioneer Hume-Rothery in the field of constitution of metals and alloys by elaborating quantitative thermodynamic descriptions of phase stability in truly multicomponent alloys with applications to phase and microstructure formation in processing technology. The quote of my peers in TMS says "an outstanding scientific leader in recognition of exceptional contributions to the science of alloys", which heartens me to join the ranks of the William Hume-Rothery Awardees. I am looking forward to the special symposium in 2014 and to stimulating discussions at the TMS Annual meeting, which I enjoyed so many times. And I hope being able to make some more contributions in the future.
- Citation: For his seminal contribution in alloy thermodynamics and phase diagrams both computationally and experimentally.

- Title: Professor Emeritus
- Affiliation: University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA
- Quote: "When I was a Metallurgical Engineering student in my native Belgium, at the Catholic University of Louvain, the instructor taught the Physical Metallurgy course out of a textbook by William Hume-Rothery. That in itself was quite unusual. In Europe in those days, instructors taught from their own notes (which they had often pirated from English-language textbooks), but this professor was different. He had obtained an MS degree from Stanford and was familiar with Anglo-Saxon ways of doing things. As a result, I learned about the great Oxford Physicist/Metallurgist Hume-Rothery very early on and his excellent textbook played no small role in the orientation of my career. Hume-Rothery was a hero in undergraduate school, but of course, I could not even dream that some day my name would be associated with that of the great man himself."

- Title: Professor of Crystalline Materials Science
- Affiliation: Nagoya University, Japan
- Quote: “My interest in the research on phase stability and the work and ideas of Professor Hume-Rothery developed during my stay in the USA, as a post-doctoral Fellow at the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh. Hume-Rothery’s ideas needed further support and development, particularly in the physics of basic property measures, and in the calculations of energy, starting from first principles. With several associates, I devoted a major part of my research in Nagoya to this field. Particularly rewarding has been the possibility of linking more closely the observed occurrence and structural features of typical electron phases like the gamma-phase, and more recently the stability of quasicrystals, and approximants, to their electronic band structure and the concept of the Billouin zone. I am very happy that this work of mine has been recognized by members of TMS as worthy of the prestigious Hume-Rothery award. I am looking forward to presenting some of my most recent research at the TMS 2005 Annual Meeting.”

- Title: Lecturer & Consultant MSE
- Affiliation: Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
- Quote: “This award has special meaning for me because of the personal relationship I had with Professor William Hume-Rothery. I was the Institute of Metals – London Hume-Rothery awardee in 1996. As a student I studied his book Atomic Theory for Students of Metallurgy. I first met him in 1960 when I chaired an AIME meeting on Phase Equilibria at which Hume-Rothery presented a paper. We corresponded for 6 years until we met again in Geneva at the Battelle conference on Phase Stability of Metals and Alloys. He invited me to write a review for Progress in Materials Science, which he edited (published 1969, vol. 14, pp. 55-96). This collaboration led to more correspondence, which is recounted in N. Saunders and A.P. Miodownik CALPHAD Pergamon/ Elsevier (1998) pp. 9-15. We were in the midst of an extensive correspondence when Hume-Rothery passed away suddenly in 1968.”

- Quote: “Working in a department where ‘Metals and Alloys’ by Mott and Jones was written in 1936 and only a short distance from Oxford where Hume-Rothery did his seminal work and wrote his influential ‘The Structure of Metals and Alloys’ at about the same time, I always thought of the application of the KKR-CPA method to calculations of the electronic properties of metallic alloys as a continuation of the work of these pioneers. This award pleases me because it recognizes that the continuation turned out to be progress.”
