Newswise — ASM International, the materials information society, established the honor of Fellow of the Society to recognize members for their distinguished contributions to materials science and engineering.
"Because this award is bestowed by our colleagues, being able to write 'FASM' after your name is one of the highest honors that a materials professional can receive," said ASM President Roger J. Fabian, FASM.
Reflecting the technical and geographic diversity of the global materials community, ASM Fellows also serve as advisors to the volunteer leadership of the society. "We are proud to acknowledge the achievements of our newly inducted Fellow Members of ASM International," Fabian said.
