Three Women With Ties to U.S. Universities Named Fellows of AMS International

The Aamsmerican Society for Metals was founded in 1913. Now known as ASM International, the society is the world’s largest association of metals-focused materials scientists and engineers with more than 30,000 members worldwide. In 1969, the society began a fellows program that recognizes distinguished contributions to the field.

This year ASM International named 26 new fellows. Four of the new fellows are women, three of whom hold current affiliations with American universities.
