2005 Somiya Award for International Collaboration
The AME Department’s own Professor Terence G. Langdon along with
Professor Zenji Horita of Kyushu University, Japan, have been selected
as the recipients of the 2005 Somiya Award for International
Collaboration. The Somiya Award is given annually by the
International Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS) for the
most significant research on materials conducted by an interactive
group whose members are drawn from at least two continents. The
criteria for the award include the publication of high quality
research which is well recognized by the international materials
community and the development of a collaborative program having a

major impact on technology or society. Langdon and Horita were cited
for their collaboration on the application of severe plastic
deformation in the processing and properties of ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured metals. This on-going collaboration was initiated in
1993 and has led to date to more than 200 papers in the scientific
literature. Currently, Langdon and Horita are ranked as #2 and #6 for
the most citations in the field of Materials Science for papers
published over the 10-year period from 1995 to 2005. The award will
be presented at a special ceremony to be held on July 5, 2005, as part
of the IUMRS International Conference on Advanced Materials in
Singapore.
