Awards
ASM Fellows Inducted
The American Society of Materials (ASM) has inducted Dr. Anita Garg (UNT) and Dr. Brad Lerch, researchers in Glenn's Materials and Structures Division, as ASM Fellows. Garg was cited for her "outstanding contributions to the scientific and technological understanding of structure-property relationships in high-temperature and aerospace materials." Lerch was distinguished for his "outstanding contributions to the understanding of deformation and fatigue of metallic alloys and composites leading to improved materials and models." The induction ceremony took place during the Materials Science and Technology Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Oct. 16.
SAE Turbomachinery Award
Dr. John Adamczyk, senior technologist in the Research & Technology Directorate, was presented the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) International's Cliff Garret Turbomachinery Award at the SAE Power Systems Conference, Nov. 9. The award, established in 1984, honors Garret's contributions as an aerospace engineer and recognizes Adamczyk as an authority in turbomachinery engineering for "off-highway" spacecraft/aircraft vehicle use.
Hathaway Brown/Glenn Collaboration Pays Off

The Hathaway Brown High School (Shaker Heights, Ohio) team of Catherine McCarthy, Lily Roberts and Rochelle Rucker was recognized for their work with NASA during the 2006–07 Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology National Final on Dec. 3. The team won a $10,000 scholarship, medals, trophies, framed certificates and other prizes for their research analyzing polymer samples from NASA's Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE–2) to determine which materials perform best in low Earth orbit. The project was inspired by ongoing work with NASA Glenn mentors Kim de Groh and Bruce Banks of the Electro-Physics Branch. The girls will share $16,000 in scholarships that includes a $6,000 scholarship and prizes won earlier for the top team category at Siemen's Midwest Regional Competition in November. The team also won $4,000 for their school, totalling over $20,000 in scholarships and awards, in the nation's most prestigious high school science competition.
