RJ Lee Group's (RJLG) Dr. Matthew J. Perricone has accepted a seat on the Chapter Council of ASM International (The Materials Information Society) representing District 10, which encompasses most of the state of Pennsylvania, including the Pittsburgh, Penn State, and Philadelphia chapters. Dr. Perricone has been heavily involved with ASM, most recently as the chair of the Albuquerque, NM, Chapter this past year, and currently as the chair of the Emerging Professionals Committee. His relocation to Pittsburgh presented this new and exciting challenge within another region of ASM.
PITTSBURGH - RJ Lee Group's (RJLG) Dr. Matthew J. Perricone has accepted a seat on the Chapter Council of ASM International (The Materials Information Society) representing District 10, which encompasses most of the state of Pennsylvania, including the Pittsburgh, Penn State, and Philadelphia chapters. Dr. Perricone has been heavily involved with ASM, most recently as the chair of the Albuquerque, NM, Chapter this past year, and currently as the chair of the Emerging Professionals Committee. His relocation to Pittsburgh presented this new and exciting challenge within another region of ASM. The requirements of this 3 year appointment include attendance at 2 events a year: ASM Leadership Days to be held in Salt Lake City, UT in August 2007, and the Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) Conference to be held in Detroit, MI in September 2007.
RJLG supports the endeavor and views this high profile position
within the society as a means to not only promote Dr. Perricone as
an expert, but also bring attention to the Company as a leading
organization within the materials community. "I believe that my
position can only serve to increase our industrial network that
could provide new business for the company," says
Perricone.
Dr. Matthew J. Perricone is a senior scientist and project manager
in technical consulting services at RJLG. He has experience as a
materials scientist in governmental, academic, and industrial
sectors with much of his technical focus on physical metallurgy,
particularly in the areas of solidification and phase
transformations. He also has performed extensive analyses in
regards to the metallurgy of joining processes like welding,
brazing, and soldering. In fact, he was recently recognized for his
work in laser welding before joining the RJLG team with a 2007
Employee Recognition Award at Sandia National Laboratories in
Albuquerque, NM.
Dr. Perricone is one of the newest members of the RJLG team but
has already become heavily involved with projects in Technical
Consulting Services, including litigation support activities. He
also serves as a technical resource for the many and varied
industrial consulting projects currently underway at
RJLG.
ASM International, founded in 1913, has existed to provide a means
for exchanging information and professional interaction. Today, the
role has expanded to serve the technical interests of metals and
materials scientists and engineers all over the world - but
providing information and interaction remains the main
purpose.
The Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) Conference is
the largest materials science gathering each year co-sponsored by
ASM International, Association for Iron & Steel Technology
(AIST), the American Ceramic Society (ACerS), and The Minerals,
Metals & Materials Society (TMS). This collaboration results in
the most comprehensive forum possible for those in materials
science and engineering to learn from each other, explore new ways
of working, and experience the synergy that this exchange sparks
for the benefit of the community at-large.
RJLG is an innovative environmental and materials characterization
company that excels in the analysis of materials using chemical and
microscopy techniques. Headquartered at an 80,000 sq. ft. facility
in Pittsburgh, PA, the Company employs over 200 people at six
locations nationwide, including Allegheny and Greene Counties.
The multi-disciplined technical staff consists
of forensic scientists, geologists, mineralogists, materials
scientists, engineers, chemists, physicists, environmental
scientists, biologists, computer scientists and information
specialists.
