AWARDS

2024 - ASCE Norman Medal---Jumari Robinson

ASCE 2024 Norman Medal

"The Norman Medal recognizes a paper that makes a contribution to either practical or research aspects of engineering disciplines. The practical value of contribution and its impact on engineering practice are important considerations. The award is presented annually to the author(s) of an original paper not previously contributed in whole or in part to any other association or publication prior to its publication by the Society. Papers published in a print issue of an ASCE journal in the 12 month period ending with June of the year preceding the year of award are eligible."

Awarding Organization

The American Society for Civil Engineering (ASCE)

Jumari Robinson was among four researchers awarded the ASCE 2024 Norman Medal for their paper “Experimental-Numerical Determination of the Effective Bulk Thermal Conductivity of Suspension Bridge Main Cables” published in the Journal of Bridge Engineering in October, 2022. ASCE, the American Society for Civil Engineering, has given this annual award since 1872 for high impact research that influences engineering practice. At NIST, Jumari is currently developing improved methods to use X-Ray diffraction to measure the stresses in a necking tensile specimen, accounting for complex evolving stress-states, geometries and crystallographic textures in automotive sheet metal tests in the NIST Center for Automotive Lightweighting.
