Bryce received the award for pioneering work in the use of artificial intelligence to accelerate materials design and discovery. “I am honored to receive this award, which is a good opportunity to reflect on how much our success depends on investments by others in our growth and goals,” said Bryce. “I am grateful to have worked with outstanding mentors, colleagues, and collaborators, without whose support my career path would not have been possible. I look forward to continued engagement at the TMS Annual Meetings, which have featured excellent programming on data-driven materials science for many years now, and with TMS more broadly.”
“Bryce has been a driving force in scientific and technical innovation at Citrine and in the broader materials informatics community since before we started the company,” said Citrine’s CEO Greg Mulholland. “It’s inspiring to see TMS recognize Bryce for his contributions to the field of MI, and I look forward to seeing Bryce and our team continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible at the intersection of AI and materials development.”

About the AIME Robert Lansing Hardy Award
Established through The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME) by Arthur C. Hardy, this award is in memory of his son, Robert Lansing Hardy, a young man of great promise in the field of physical metallurgy and Junior Member of AIME, who died suddenly at the age of 25.
This award recognizes a young person in the broad fields of metallurgy and materials science for exceptional promise of a successful career, rather than for any specific accomplishment. The broad fields of metallurgy and materials science include minerals processing, extractive, physical or adaptive metallurgy, and metal processing.
The award began with Arthur C. Hardy’s donation to AIME, in memory of his son Robert, to create a medal “as an inspiration to many young people in their formative years.” As an educator most of his life, Arthur Hardy was keenly aware of the importance of motivating young professionals to strive for superior achievement. He provided the photograph of his son for use on the medal and those who knew Robert say the portrait captured his earnest look as he was about to embark on this chosen career.
