Portrait of Dr. Glicksman
Prof. Martin Glicksman has been given the 2009 ASM Honorary Membership Award. In addition he has been selected to present the EDWARD DeMILLE CAMPBELL MEMORIAL LECTURE in 2011 and will receive the award in October at the 2009 MS&T meeting.
The annual lecture was inaugurated in 1926 in memory and recognition of the outstanding scientific contributions to the metallurgical profession by a distinguished educator Edward DeMille Campbell who was blind for all but two years of his professional life. Despite this handicap, he contributed 77 papers to the scientific literature, the majority of which dealt with a correlation of the chemical constituents with the physical and mechanical properties of steels.
This lecture recognizes demonstrated ability in materials science and engineering. For over five decades, the Campbell Lecture has been the centerpiece of the annual ASM program. It is considered one of the truly prestigious events and awards of the Society. The awardee is recognized as an outstanding practitioner in the field of materials science and engineering with a widely-acknowledged excellence as a lecturer.
