The proximity of the famous Slovakian High Tatra Mountains is an appropriate reminder that, although some amongst us have reached the peak of their careers, many are still successfully traversing the lower slopes while others are making their first valiant attempts at the foothills. At this 72nd IIW Annual Assembly, hosted by the Slovakian Welding Research Institute, IIW Annual Awards acknowledge not only people with outstanding accomplishments or technical achievements, illustrious careers or long and meritorious ser- vice to the IIW around the world, but also encourage promising young professionals who are our future industry and Institute leaders. IIW is proud to promote and recognise distinction through its numerous prizes and awards, often sponsored by Member So-

cieties. Many are named to pay tribute to eminent individuals who were founding fathers of IIW or champions of its global role, or made significant contributions to the development and implementation of scientific and technical advances in welding and allied processes. It was the dedication and vision of these famous IIW persona- lities which set the stage for the organisation to be recognised today as the largest and most prestigious worldwide network for the exchange of knowledge and cooperation in a wide range of joining and related technologies. Our heartiest congratulations go to the 2019 IIW Annual Award winners whose achievements and professionalism, whether at the peak of the mountains or in the foothills, are outstanding examples of determination on the pathway to excellence.

FELLOW OF IIW

Professor Dr Carl E. Cross (USA), a metallurgical engineer from the Colorado School of Mines, has over 40 years of welding research experience working in industry, academia and national laboratories. He has specialised in solidification defects and has been involved with many important welding issues: Al-Li development for the Space Shuttle (Martin Marietta Inc.), hyperbaric nitrogen pick-up in duplex stainless (Helmut Schmidt University), filler development for aluminium ferries (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), and ballistic properties for armoured vehicles (Montana Tech). As senior scientist at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Germany, he directed welding studies on the corrosion-fatigue analysis of magne- sium, role of hydrogen in titanium, grain refinement in aluminium, and modelling of solidification cracking. Currently he works at Los Alamos National Laboratory, developing a new process for braze-welding and working to eliminate weld porosity.

Dr Richard Dolby (United Kingdom) is an independent consultant metallurgist and a Distinguished Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. He began his career at British Alcan and the General Electric Company, and in 1964 joined The Welding Insti- tute (British Welding Research Association). He was Director, Research and Technology from 1985 until his retirement in 2003. A past-President of the UK Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, he was elected a Fellow of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering in 1987 and awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2000 for services to research and technology transfer in materials joining. From 1979 he held various IIW posts, including Chair of Sub-Commission IXJ for 10 years, and Chair of the Study Group Welding Research Strategy and Collaboration for a similar period.

CHRIS SMALLBONE AWARD Sponsored by IIW Member Societies from Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Serbia

Mr Ray Shook (USA) joined the American Welding Society (AWS) in 2002 and occupied the Executive Director and CEO positions until his retirement at the end of 2017. During his tenure Shook was instrumental in the expansion of AWS international membership and the dissemination of information and knowledge to countries around the world. The acquisition of the Weldmex exhibition and partnership with FABTECH brought the latest welding technology to Mexico. The AWS expansion in P.R. China promoted by Shook saw many of the locally-used AWS codes, standards, and certification programmes translated into the local languages, thus spreading a wealth of welding technology and education into this region. In 2006, Shook led a team effort to partner with the Indian Institute of Welding, sharing technological advances in welding with a wide audience in India. He continues to be a strong supporter of not only IIW but many other regional and inter- national conferences, expositions and competitions.

UGO GUERRERA PRIZE Sponsored by the Italian Institute of Welding

Recognises an individual or team responsible for fabrication of an outstanding recently completed welded construction from the viewpoints of design, materials or fabrication methods.

The Ugo Guerrera Prize 2019 is awarded to Mrs Claudia Pavan (Italy), Project Manager, and her team from Italian steel fabricator Cimolai SpA who were responsible for com- pleting the complex and unique welded structure of The Oculus, World Trade Center Transportation Hub, New York, USA. Pavan holds a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Padova and achieved her Master degree in Design of Infrastructures at the University of Padua in 2004. She has worked with Cimolai since her graduation on a range of international construction projects, becoming a Project Manager in 2011.

The Oculus serves as the main entrance hall to the hub which provides intra-city and interstate transit services for more than 250,000 daily commuters, users and visitors. The bird-like design of the building required an extraordinary level of coordination, detailing, assembly and welding expertise. In addition to complex joints and welding details, the main challenge was to fabricate the elements within a tight tolerance. As most of the elements were three-dimensionally curved plate steel, a detailed study was performed to define the shapes and establish appropriate tolerances. The welding fabrication was completed with the highest level of commitment and quality.
