Lesley Frame, assistant professor, Materials Science and Engineering, University of Connecticut, recently was elected IFHTSE vice president for the 2024-2026 term in Yokahama and will serve as president 2027-2029.
Frame got her undergraduate degree at MIT and completed her PhD at the University of Arizona. She was a Fulbright Scholar at Cardiff University in Wales. She spent five years at Thermtool Corp., leading product development, materials characterization, and customer education for the company. After Thermtool, she decided to return to academia, and joined the faculty at the University of Connecticut. Her primary research focus is on structure-processing-property relationships for materials manufacturing and processing-performance relationships for material durability. She has been active in ASM and has been serving as the vice president and now president of the HTS board for the past four years.
ASM Heat Treating Conference a success
The ASM Heat Treating Conference, as part of IMAT, was in Detroit, Michigan, October 16-19. The total attendance for the events (Heat Treat/IMAT/and MPT Expo) was more than 4,500 attendees, with more than 27 countries represented. There was a total of 337 oral presentations and 22 posters for both IMAT and HTS. More than 300 exhibitors were present for the entire event.
Conference Update
5th International Conference on Thermal Process Modeling and Simulation (5th ICTPMS) | April 17-19, 2024
The 5th International Conference on Thermal Process Modeling and Simulation will be held together with the 4th Mediterranean Conference on Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering (MCHTSE 2024). These two IFHTSE conferences will be in Lecce, Italy, April 17-19, 2024.
The two conferences aim at providing a forum where engineers, scientists, researchers, and production managers can review and discuss fundamentals, new challenges, recent progress, and emerging topics in the fields of advanced heat treatment and surface engineering technology.
TPMS-5 aims at covering all aspects of modeling and simulation of thermal processes.
