Acta Materialia Gold Medal Lecture: Materials via Non-equilibrium Processing: Enrique Lavernia1; 1University of California, Irvine
My fascination with metals, specifically metal powders, began 38 years ago when I arrived in the MIT laboratory of late Professor Nicholas J. Grant as a brand new and very nervous graduate student. Fast forward several decades later to this Acta Materialia Symposium. Despite our progress, I continue to be intrigued and humbled by the constantly evolving research questions that remain. Over the course of my career, I have been extremely fortunate to have the support and dedication of my family and to work with inspiring and brilliant collaborators, dedicated students and post-docs, and numerous visiting professors. Collectively, they are the reason I have the privilege of presenting this brief lecture. I will describe the evolution of my research interests in the context of my publications in Acta Materialia (formerly Acta Metallurgica). My talk will begin with a study on solidification behavior during spray atomization and deposition, then fundamental investigation into non-equilibrium materials processing, and finally understanding of microstructure and mechanical behavior in materials fabricated by non-equilibrium processing.

Acta Materialia Silver Medal Lecture: Integrative Materials Design and Additive Manufacturing in the Context of Industry 4.0: Diana Lados1; 1Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Manufacturing of materials is marching into an era where the gap between conceptualization and commercialization can be significantly reduced by utilizing an integrated materials design approach, materials informatics, and machine learning. Additive manufacturing (AM), which enables fabrication of parts with complex geometries directly from 3D models, is a major driving force in this new design and manufacturing era. In order to fully develop Industry 4.0 capabilities, the field of AM is seeing significant research efforts focused on developing comprehensive and well integrated processing-microstructure-properties knowledge and databases, as well as multi-scale modeling tools to be used in a data-driven materials design and manufacturing approach. There are many metal AM processes that have been developed and are being evaluated for adoption in high-integrity applications. In this context, opportunities for qualification of structural AM materials will be discussed, with emphasis on effective methodologies for rapid material characterization and process optimization for fatigue performance.

Acta Materialia Hollomon Award for Materials and Society: Reflections on Materials and Society - An Acceptance Speech: Lynnette Madsen1; 1National Science Foundation
I am deeply honoured to be recognized with the Hollomon award. I have not walked this path alone and I would like to acknowledge those who have accompanied me on this journey, helped me, or encouraged me to pursue such interests. But, also, I want to recognize others who have forged the path forward. In my brief response, I will discuss what ties materials to an improved quality of life. In this regard, two important mileposts stand out: (1) a compilation of the greatest engineering accomplishments of the twentieth century, and (2) the formulation of outstanding grand challenges facing society. My most recent contributions have been mainly focused on communication of scientific outcomes and their significance, overcoming bias and lack of diversity, fostering international and industrial collaborations, cultivating superior mentoring and more effective education, and driving scientific discoveries into products. In summary, I believe that connecting education, research, and community is paramount to continued progress. Thank you.
