Dear Colleagues,
As Editor-in-Chief of Metals, I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2019 Metals Young Investigator Award offered by the Metals journal this year (2019) to the most outstanding young investigator in the field of metals research.
Dr. Enrique Galindo-Nava has being unanimously elected by the awards committee as the winner of this award as his successful trajectory clearly shows it. An evaluation of his accomplishments clearly indicates that his career as a young scientist is full of merit and highly competitive challenges where he has shown outstanding performance. He has received multiple awards from highly reputable organizations and research entities. His excellent scholarship is evident from his high performance at Cambridge University where he received a fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering for five years from January 2017. His work has been focused on disclosing fundamental aspects of plastic deformation and he has multiple publications in highly reputable journals in materials science and engineering. His work covers a wide number of topics of current importance including hydrogen embrittlement, structural materials for aerospace applications, computational materials and simulation of plasticity, among others. In addition, Dr. Enrique Galindo-Nava has been actively involved in collaborating with companies of high prestige such as Rolls-Royce. Therefore, I am confident that Dr. Enrique Galindo-Nava has a bright future as a scientist and as an academic is the clear winner.
