IIW 2018 Awards booklet

FELLOW OF IIW Recognises individuals with a minimum of 10 years active participation in IIW who have made distinguished contributions to welding science and technology and promoted and sustained the professional stature of the field.

Dr Stan A. David (USA) received his PhD in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. He held roles as Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, Colo- rado School of Mines, and Coventry University, UK. He joined the Oak Ridge Natio- nal Laboratory in 1977, and remains a Corporate Fellow Emeritus and consultant after retirement in 2008. David is a Fellow of The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS), American Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Science, ASM International and the AWS, and recipient of several major awards including the IIW Arata Prize, Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Pittsburgh, and the Elegant Work Prize of the Institute of Materials, London, for his publications on single crystal welding. In 1994 he was the recipient of the Champion H. Mathewson award from TMS and in 1981 the AWS Lincoln Gold Medal. David contributed to over 300 papers in the fields of solidification and welding metal- lurgy, is editor of 10 international conference proceedings and is actively involved in the publication of a major journal in materials joining.

Dr Zhili Feng (USA) leads the Materials Joining team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. There he manages multidisciplinary projects and major multi-million-dollar fundamental and applied R&D and technology innovations to advance materials joining and manufac- turing science and technologies for automotive, nuclear energy, fossil energy, hydrogen energy, and defence applications. Feng has made seminal contributions in several important areas such as integrated com- putational welding engineering (ICWE), proactive weld residual stress control, innova- tions in materials joining including friction stir welding/processing and solid state dissi- milar material joining. He has also made significant contributions in the application of advanced neutron and synchrotron scattering tools to study the fundamentals of weld microstructure evolution and effects on weld properties and performance of welded structures. Additionally, Feng is Joint Faculty Professor of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Guest Professor of Tsinghua University, P.R. China. Feng, a Fellow of AWS, has over 200 publications and holds nine patents. In 2015 he received special recognition from the US Department of Energy for his leadership in developing technology solutions to use advanced high-strength steels in auto-body components.
