Surya Kalidindi, Materials Science professor, and W. Jud Ready, principal research engineer, both received top honors for their contributions in areas of materials science.
Receiving the 2015 TMS Fellow award, Dr. Kalidindi was cited for his “plasticity and microstructure design, and leadership in materials education.”
In receiving the award, Dr. Kalidindi thanked TMS and its many resources, which have been critical in his professional growth. “I have relied heavily on TMS to be my central resource for my materials education throughout my career. The conferences, journals, committees, and various other activities of TMS have given me many opportunities for my career growth. I am, and will remain, most proud of this award.”
Receiving the 2015 Brimacombe Medal, Ready was cited for contributions in electronics reliability, applied nanotechnology research and service to TMS. Ready also recognized TMS for its part in fostering his career.
“I joined TMS as a student in 1992, and cannot imagine how my career would have evolved (professional/peer-reviewed journals) to the intangible (networking/friendships), with numerous more examples of each and everything in between. Thank you, TMS, for aiding and improving my career.”
The professional awards and honors that TMS confers at every annual meeting represent much more than recognizing individual excellence. They also provide an opportunity to celebrate the many contributions that the minerals, metals, and materials professions have made to advancing society and improving quality of life. The luncheons and special lectures that feature many of the awards at the annual meeting present exceptional opportunities to interact with and learn from honorees at the height of their careers.
