Since joining UTRC, he has worked with process modeling, atomistic modeling, and advanced alloy system design. Dr. Giamei has authored 70 technical publications, 22 U.S. Patents, and three conference proceedings. He is an ASM fellow and has served on several TMS committees, including a term on the Board of Directors. He has won several awards, including the UTRC George Mead Medal for Engineering Achievement.
JEROLD LEIBENSPERGER is manager of Raw Materials for Carpenter Technology. He earned a degree in metallurgy and materials science from Lehigh University. Mr. Leibensperger worked in the melting and primary production areas for 13 years before becoming manager of Carpenter's Premium Melting Units. His current responsibilities include the purchase of all scrap and
alloys used at Carpenter, the development and assessment of new suppliers, and the management of inventory. Mr. Leibensperger possesses process knowledge of Carpenter's stainless steel, low alloy, tool, electronic, and aerospace alloys and their corresponding raw materials.
THOMAS J. O'KEEFE is Curators' Professor of Metallurgical Engineering, senior research investigator of the Graduate Center for Materials Research, and director of the Institute for Chemical and Extractive Metallurgy at the University of Missouri–Rolla. He received a B.S. from the Missouri School of Mines and a Ph.D. from the University of Missouri–Rolla in metallurgical engineering. His primary technical areas of interest are chemical and extractive metallurgy and deposition of coatings with emphasis in electrometallurgical processing. He has numerous publications and patents in these related areas.
BEN F. OLIVER is a professor of Materials Science and engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Dr. Oliver received a Ph.D. in metallurgy from Pennsylvania State University. His research interests include solidification, crystal growth, ultra-high purity materials, composites, thermodynamics, magneto-hydrodynamics, and the solid state. His current researches include ultra-high purity intermetallic compounds and composites.
DAVID C. ROBERTS is a member of the technical staff at the MITRE Corporation, McLean, Virginia, where he is a specialist in environmental chemistry, regulations, and information management. He holds a B.A. in molecular biology from the University of Wisconsin and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
