The title of MRS Fellow honors those members who have made outstanding contributions to the field, including research, leadership and service, thereby advancing the mission of the materials community world-wide. The highly selective distinction is limited to 0.2% of the current MRS regular membership each year and to those with continuous engagement with MRS. Congratulations to Dr. Hu!
