- Title: Technical Fellow
- Affiliation: General Motors R&D Center, Warren, MI
- Quote: I am honored to receive the TMS award named for Cyril Stanley Smith, a pioneer in the study of materials microstructures, and to join the company of prior award recipients whom I have long admired. Smith was a leader in shaping the early foundations of microstructure based understanding of metallurgy and materials behavior. Our work to integrate quantitative microstructure in computational materials innovation for automotive lightweighting has been built on that foundation. My research group wants to recognize and thank the numerous colleagues who have greatly inspired, assisted and contributed to this work and especially acknowledge TMS for the key role it has played by providing the platform where many of these collaborations were established and nurtured.
- Citation: Advancing the science of automotive lightweighting through the integration of experimental and computational materials development with design innovation.

- Title: Distinguished Member of Technical Staff
- Affiliation: Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM
- Quote: I am honored and thrilled to receive this award named for Cyril Stanley Smith, a pioneer in the study of material microstructures. Like him, I have a long-standing fascination, some might say obsession, with grain boundaries and how they impact microstructural evolution. I want to recognize and thank the numerous colleagues who have greatly inspired, assisted and corrected me in this work. TMS has also played a key role by providing the venues where many of these collaborations were established and nurtured.
- Citation: For pioneering development of the Embedded Atom Method interatomic potentials, which laid the foundation for nearly three decades of molecular dynamics simulations of metals.

- Title: Technical Staff Member
- Affiliation: Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM
- Quote: I am honored by the recognition bestowed on me by TMS. I would like to acknowledge that the body of work that this award recognizes is a paradigm of how scientific research works at its best: it builds upon the foundations previously developed by gifted mechanics and materials scientists; it results from teamwork and continuity; and its character reflects contributions from collaborations with a variety of first-class researchers. As a consequence, this award represents not only a personal recognition but also a recognition of all of the above. TMS and, more specifically, the TMS annual meetings have provided the venue for interacting with colleagues and staying abreast of ongoing developments in the field of materials research. This has given me the possibility of broadening my field of knowledge, keeping up-to-date on recent advances, and benefiting from other researcher’s work.
- Citation: For pioneering the development of physically-based, multi-scale, microstructural models that capture the mechanical response of highly textured, anisotropic materials.

- Title: Professor
- Affiliation: Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
- Quote: This Award is particularly significant to me because I have been interested in microstructure all my career. Accordingly Cyril Stanley Smith was always one of my heroes because his ideas were so seminal in the field. There is also the local connection that CS Smith was the advisor of William Mullins, who was a Professor at Carnegie Mellon and who also made many contributions to microstructural science. Lastly, I was the Chair of the International Conference on Recrystallization and Grain Growth for several years, in which we also honor Smith’s contributions.
- Citation: For insights into grain growth and texture development derived from quantitative, mesoscale, computer modeling using anisotropic grain boundary properties.

- Affiliation: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
- Quote: It is an honor and a great pleasure to receive an award honoring Cyril Stanley Smith. His pioneering work on the principles behind the microstructural development in metallic materials was an important inspiration for me when entering the fascinating field of what is now called Physical Metallurgy. Metallographic information is still a basis for interpreting and modeling various phenomena and metallography provides an important testing ground for models. I may be the last professor to hold a chair named Metallography but the importance of the field should always be appreciated.
- Citation: For his exceptional contributions to the theory of microstructural evolution, addressing fundamental aspects of diffusional transformations and thermodynamics.
