2011 Awards
Microanalysis Society
Presidential Science Award Peter Statham
Peter Statham has been a leader in the science and technol-
ogy of microanalysis for more than 35 years, responsible for many contributions in the scientific literature ~more than 80 papers! as well as patents and important advances in commercial energy- dispersive X-ray spectrometry measurement platforms. He also has a long and distinguished history with the Microanalysis Society, serving our organization in many roles over the years, and he is the recipient of some of the most prestigious awards granted by our society. MAS is pleased to present Peter with the Presiden- tial Science Award at Microscopy and Microanalysis 2011 in Nashville, TN. Peter began his career in the United Kingdom, receiving a
first degree in Physics from Cambridge before obtaining a PhD from the same institution based on a thesis titled “Quantitative X-ray energy spectrometry.”He then continued his work on energy- dispersive spectrometry in the United States as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California at Berkeley, where he also began a long-term interest in image processing. Peter returned to the UK to accept a position at Link Systems, which in 1989 became part of the Oxford Instruments Group; he is currently Director of Research at Oxford Instruments Nanoanalysis. Peter has served on MAS Council and on the Institute of
Physics EMAG Committee, and he is currently the UK technical expert for energy-dispersive spectrometry appointed to the ISO/TC 202 Committee on Microbeam Analysis. It is perhaps not surpris- ing that Peter has earned such recognition during his career in microanalysis because in 1986 then-President Gordon Cleaver presented Peter with the very first MAS K.F.J. Heinrich Award, honoring his distinguished technical contributions as a scientist under the age of forty.
K.F.J.Heinrich Award Luke N. Brewer
Luke Brewer received his graduate education at Northwest-
ern University under the direction of
Prof.Vinayak
P.Dravid.After receiving a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering he spent several years as a staff member at the GE Global Research Center and later at Sandia National Laboratories ~SNL!, working on microscopy, microanalysis, and materials research during his ten- ure at both institutions. Luke’s research has focused on the devel- opment and application of electron backscattered diffraction ~EBSD! methodologies, hyperspectral analysis techniques, and mi- cromechanical testing
procedures.At GE he was involved in several physical metallurgy research projects, including analyses of weld- ing and stress corrosion cracking, as well as high temperature alloy
development.At SNL Luke’s primary research areas included devel- oping experiments and simulation capabilities for investigating microstructural phenomena such as cyclic plasticity, fatigue crack- ing, phase transformations, and grain growth. In his short career Luke has served both MAS and the broader
microanalysis community in many ways, and has been honored with numerous awards for his technical achievements and service to our field. In 2002 he was awarded theMacres Award by MAS for his development of algorithms for visualizing plastic deformation using EBSD. From 2007 to 2009 he held the title of Director of MAS, and served as the MAS programco-chair for theMicroscopy and Microanalysis Meeting in 2009. MSA appointed him Program Chair for the M&M 2012 meeting, and he is the MSA Program Vice Chair for our meeting here in Nashville. In addition to his work with the Executive ProgramGroup for our national meeting, he has also applied his conference organization skills at a smaller level and co-organized both the 2008 and 2010 MAS Topical Conferences on EBSD. Dr. Brewer is currently an associate professor in the Mechan-
ical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the Naval Postgrad- uate school in Monterey California.
