The Department of Materials Science and Engineering congratulates Professor Alan Luo, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, for being awarded by TMS with the LMD Technology Award. The LMD (Light Metals Division) Technology Award "recognizes an individual who has demonstrated outstanding long-term service to the light metals industry by consistently providing technical and/or operating knowledge that has enhanced the competitiveness of the industry".¹

Academic and research excellence within Ohio State's Department of Materials Science and Engineering continues to be noticed. The caliber of research being conducted within DMSE is world renowned and continues to be recognized for the advancement of materials development and applications that benefit industry demands while aligning with the College of Engineering's focus areas - materials, mobility, manufacturing, medicine.

"Winning a LMD (Light Metals Division) Technology Award from TMS means a lot to me, since I have been working in the light metals community (both industry and academia) for more than thirty years and LMD has been my home division at TMS. Over the years, TMS has provided me tremendous opportunities for technology development, and professional networking. I appreciate my colleagues and friends at TMS and LMD for their support and recognition." - Professor Alan Luo

Dr. Alan Luo is also the Director of the Light Metals and Manufacturing Research Laboratory and a faculty member with the Center for Simulation Innovation and Modeling (SIMCenter).
