2005 Fellowships
Steve Bruemmer Elected Fellow in National Association of Corrosion Engineers
Steve Bruemmer has been elected as Fellow in the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE). The award was presented at the Corrosion 2006 Conference on March 12-16 in San Diego.
Steve earned his B.S. and M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from the University of Illinois and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Oregon Graduate Institute for Science and Technology. He joined Battelle in 1978 and became a Laboratory Fellow in 1995. He is author or co-author of more than 270 technical publications; author for several book chapters; editor of five books, and has given more than 60 invited lectures at conferences and meetings. In addition to being elected Fellow in the National Association of Corrosion Engineers and elected in 2006, he is a Fellow in ASM International and a member of the Materials Research Society and the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (Past Chairman of the Corrosion and Environmental Effects Committee and Secretary/Treasurer for the Structural Materials Division), and he received Distinguished Service Award in 2002.
While at PNNL, Steve has initiated and led a wide range of basic and applied research programs in materials science as program manager and principal investigator. His research encompasses simple and advanced materials, physical and mechanical properties, and environmental effects on material behavior. The emphasis of his work is on the measurement, understanding, and prediction of microstructural and microchemical effects on the structural reliability of engineering materials. He is an acknowledged leader in the quantification of grain boundary segregation, precipitation, and deformation effects on materials failure. (announced 11/1/2005)
