Institute of Materials Ceramic Award Winners 2001
The Institute of Materials (London, Stoke-on-Trent and Sheffield, England) has announced ceramic industry/academia winners in this year's awards for excellence in materials science and engineering.
Arnold Forrester, recently retired from Royal Doulton, receives the Holland Award in recognition of his services to the ceramic industry and the Institute over an entire working lifetime.
Professor Fred Glasser of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Aberdeen is the recipient of the Knoll Medal & Prize in recognition of the broad scope of his contribution to the cement and materials sciences over the past 45 years.
Dr R Derricott (retired) receives the T B Marden Award in recognition of his services to the profession. He has served on many IoM Committees and has also given much support to the Membership Department. Dr Derricott has been the IoM representative in a number of Engineering Council activities and has been an active member of the IoM both nationally and regionally.
Professor M Lewis of the University of Warwick receives the Verulam Medal & prize for his outstanding contribution to the field of ceramic science over the past 30 years. He is well known throughout the international ceramic research arena and has been largely responsible for the development of materials research at the University of Warwick. He is especially well known as one of the pioneers in structural ceramics research, during an era in which the UK was a world leader.
Dr A Winn (Manchester Materials Science Centre, UMIST) and Dr R Todd (Department of Materials, University of Oxford) receive the Pfeil Award for their paper 'Microstructural Requirements for Alumina-SiC Nanocomposites' published in 'British Ceramic Transactions'
