Oleg D. Sherby Award

This award recognizes an individual, or small group of collaborators, who has made significant contributions to the understanding of the behavior of materials at high temperatures.

The award includes a cash component of $5,000 as well as a medal and a certificate. (If the award goes to a group of collaborators, the medal will go to the leader, however, all in the group will receive a certificate.).

Presentation of this award is supported by a gift to the TMS Foundation by Jeffrey Wadsworth of Battelle.
