outstanding papers devoted to research into welding and related technologies authored by younger members of the welding community. HENRY GRANJON PRIZE sponsored by the institut de soudure (french welding institute)

CATEGORY A – Joining and Fabrication Technology

Dr-Ing. Seyed Mohammad Goushegir (Germany) - Friction Spot Joining (FSpJ) of Aluminum-CFRP Hybrid Structures. Dr-Ing. Goushegir completed his bachelor’s degree in materials engineering at Shiraz University, Iran in 2002. After several years working as a materials engineer in the steel industry he was awarded the european Union erasmus mundus scholarship in 2008 to pursue his master’s degree in Europe. In 2010, he obtained a MSc Joint Degree, majoring in ceramic composites, from the University of Aveiro, Portugal and the Hamburg Univer- sity of Technology, Germany. Since 2011 Dr-Ing. Goushegir has been working at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, developing friction spot joining, an innovative metal-polymer joining technology. He was awarded his doctorate degree in joining technology from the Hamburg University of Technology in 2015.

category b – materials behaviour and weldability

Ms Carolin Fink (Germany) - An Investigation on Ductility-Dip Cracking in the Base Metal Heat-Affected Zone of Wrought Nickel Base Alloys - Metallurgical Effects and Cracking mechanism. Ms Carolin Fink is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Ma- terials Science and Engineering, Welding Engineering Program at The Ohio State Univer- sity. Her research interests include weld cracking and materials degradation phenomena, in particular hot cracking and liquid metal embrittlement, welding metallurgy and welda- bility of nickel base alloys, welding of dissimilar metals and weldability testing. previously ms fink worked as a graduate research associate at the otto-von-guericke University Magdeburg, Germany, while pursuing her PhD in Mechanical Engineering. She has regularly attend IIW meetings as part of the DVS Young Professional Program and given several presentations in commission ii on her research on ductility-dip cracking in the base metal heat-affected zone of nickel base alloys.
