David K. Matlock

Dr. Matlock received his B.S. degree in engineering science from the University of Texas at Austin (1968), and his M.S. (1970) and Ph.D. (1972) degrees in materials science and engineering from Stanford University.

He is the Armco Foundation Fogarty Professor in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Colorado School of Mines (CSM), Golden, Colorado. He is one of the co-founders and currently serves as Director of the Advanced Steel Processing and Products Research Center, an industry-university cooperative research center established at CSM in 1984. The Center is recognized as one of the most successful industry/university research centers in the world. He joined the CSM faculty in 1972 and is involved in teaching and research, primarily related to the mechanical properties of materials.

Prof. Matlock is a Fellow of the American Society for Metals (ASM), a Fellow of the American Welding Society (AWS), and a member of the USA National Academy of Engineering. He has received numerous awards for teaching and research. In his 35 year career at CSM he has received outstanding teaching awards on many occasions including being named in 1987 as first CSM Outstanding Educator by CSM's President and in 2006 as the CSM Board of Trustees' Outstanding Faculty Award recipient. His research efforts have led to awards from several professional societies including AWS, ASM, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Iron and Steel Society, the American Nuclear Society, and the Metallurgical Society of AIME.

Jim Williams

Jim Williams is Manager Metallurgical Technology at BlueScope Steel Australian and New Zealand Industrial Markets. Over a period of 35 years, he and his team's most notable achievements have included the development of alloy designs and hot rolling (thermomechanical) processes for high strength weldable steels in critical applications such as offshore platforms, high pressure gas transmission pipelines, automotive steels, submarine hull steels, structural plates, pressure vessels, steels for quenched and tempered plates and more recently microalloyed steels manufactured via the new revolutionary strip casting process. Several of these developments have delivered substantial economic benefits for the fabrication and application of steel in Australia. Mr Williams is a Councillor of the Welding Technology Institute of Australia and a Board Member of the BlueScope Steel Metallurgy Centre at the University of Wollongong. He received the Sir William Hudson Memorial Award for Best Published Research Paper in 2005.
