ASM’s 2022 Class of Fellows

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.  Following are the members recognized by their colleagues for 2022.  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.   

ASM will recognize the 2022 Class of Fellows as well as the Class of 2021, and 2020 at a celebration during IMAT 2022, scheduled for September 12-15, 2022, in New Orleans, LA.
