Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Growing up, Miller never traveled much, so when she was selected as the 2022 TMS/JIM Young Leaders International Scholar she was honored, excited, and definitely a little nervous. It was a tremendous privilege to represent TMS at the 2022 Japan Institute of Metals and Materials (JIM) Fall Meeting, Sep 21-23, in Fukuoka, Japan. Wednesday morning--twelve hours after landing at Fukuoka International Airport and only 24 hours after a typhoon passed--she found herself being introduced by Hideaki Yamamura at the conference opening ceremony, located at the Fukuoka Institute of Technology's campus. The conference itself was a well-organized whirlwind. It was the first in-person JIM meeting since the start of the pandemic, so the atmosphere was joyful as everyone saw old friends. To her pleasant surprise, she immediately found people who she already knew through her involvement in TMS, including Don Shih, Mingzhe Bian, Sae Matsunaga, and Tessa Davey.
