AME professor Terry Langdon has been selected as a 2011 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fellow. As justification for his selection he was cited, "For pioneering work in the fields of processing and properties of ultrafine-grained materials, and for outstanding scientific leadership in the materials science community worldwide." The MRS Fellows will be recognized at the 2011 MRS Spring Meeting April 25-29, 2011, in San Francisco, and also announced on the MRS website and in the MRS Bulletin.

The title of MRS Fellow honors those MRS members who are notable for their distinguished research accomplishments and their outstanding contributions to the advancement of materials research, world-wide. The maximum number of new Fellow appointments each year is limited to 0.2% of the current MRS membership. The distinction is thus highly selective.

In recognition of this honor, Langdon has been invite to participate in a number of special events at the 2011 MRS Spring Meeting. He is invited to the President's Reception, which is in large part an informal acknowledgement of the many people who have contributed to the technical excellence and success of the 2011 MRS Spring Meeting. He will also attend a special reception will be held to recognize and honor the new 2011 MRS Fellows. Later in the week he will attend the Awards Session, during which the selection of the new class of MRS Fellows will be announced.
