IMS Member Receiving ASM Fellow in 2023
In 1969, ASM established the Fellow of the Society honor to provide recognition to members for their distinguished contributions to materials science and engineering and to develop a broadly based forum of technical and professional leaders to serve as advisors to the society. ASM will recognize the 2023 Class of Fellows at the Annual Awards Banquet held during IMAT’23, on Tuesday, October 17th, in Detroit, MI. Tickets can be purchased with IMAT registration.
Following are the members recognized by their colleagues for 2023. Additional Fellows may be elected to this distinguished body in subsequent years. The solicited guidance, which the Fellows will provide, will enhance the capability of ASM as a technical community of materials science and engineering in the years ahead.

Image of the Month
Hollow Sphere
This Hollow Sphere of FeO won first place in the Artistic Microscopy (Color) class during the 2022 IMS International Metallographic Contest held during IMAT in New Orleans last September. The image shows the alloys’ dendritic structure as well as its hollow nature. It was captured by Demmys Kelsen Florentino de Sousa from the Center for Gas Technology and Renewable Energy (CTGAS-ER – Centro de Tecnologias do Gás e Energias Renováveis) in Brazil.
