David E. Laughlin Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. David E. Laughlin is the ALCOA Professor of Physical Metallurgy Emeritus, in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering atCarnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA. He obtained his BS in Metallurgical Engineering from Drexel University in 1969 and his PhD
in Metallurgy and Materials Science from MIT in 1973. He has taught at CMU since 1974. He was the Principal Editor of Metallurgical and
Materials Transactions and has coedited eight books. His research has centered on the structure of materials as observed by electron microscopy, phase transformations, and magnetic materials. He has published
more than 500 peer-reviewed research papers and is a coinventor on 11 US patents. Laughlin is a Fellow of TMS and ASM International. Kazuhiro Hono National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan. Kazuhiro Hono is President of the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan. He joined NIMS in 1995 and has
served as a NIMS Fellow, Director of the Research Center for Magnetic and Spintronic Materials, and Executive Vice President of NIMS. He obtained his BS from Tohoku University in 1982 and his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in 1988. His research has centered on the microstructure-property relationships of metallic materials, particularly magnetic materials. He served as Principal Editor of Scripta Materialia and Acta Materialia from 2000 to 2022. Hono is a Fellow of TMS and of the Magnetics Society of Japan.
