It is also designed to develop a broadly based forum for technical and professional leaders to serve as advisors to SAMPE. A Fellow must demonstrate outstanding accomplishments in some phase of materials and processes science or engineering. A Fellow must also show a broad and productive achievement in production, manu-facturing, management, design, development, research or education. e 2022 Fellows are: • Yan Li , professor and dean, Tongji University (Shanghai, China), College of Aerospace Engineering and Applied Mechanics. • Kazuro Kageyama , professor, Kanazawa Institute of Technology (Nonoichi, Japan). • Donald A.
