Diletta Giuntini awarded TMS-AIME Champion H. Mathewson Award
Giuntini was among eight co-authors of the paper “Anisotropy of Mass Transfer During Sintering of Powder Materials with Pore–Particle Structure Orientation.”
Assistant Professor Diletta Giuntini, from the Department of Mechanical Engineering (section Mechanics of Materials), is among the winners of an award recognizing papers that make notable contributions to metallurgical or materials science. Giuntini was among eight co-authors to share this year’s Champion H. Mathewson Award from The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME).
They won for “Anisotropy of Mass Transfer During Sintering of Powder Materials with Pore–Particle Structure Orientation.” The paper ran in the January 2019 edition of Metallurgical and Materials Transactions. In addition to Giuntini, the paper’s co-authors include: Elsa Torresani and Eugene A. Olevsky of San Diego State University; Rajendra Bordia of Clemson University, South Carolina; Chaoyi Zhu, Tyler Harrington and Kenneth S. Vecchio of the University of California, San Diego; and Alberto Molinari of the University of Trento, Italy.
The award’s namesake was regarded as ‘a pioneer of modern physical metallurgy in this country, who laid much of the foundation of our understanding of the working and annealing of metals,’ according to AIME.
The team received its award March 2 during the The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society (TMS) 2022 Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California. TMS is a member society of AIME.
