Chinese Academy of Sciences Certificate
2011 - APS Fellow (American Physical Society)
For being a leading member of the international community on the dynamic behavior of materials for over thirty years, publishing over 330 papers. In addition to his fundamental contributions to the field, he has provided leadership through his activities in the APS, MRS, and ARO, including co-founding the EXPLOMET conference.
2011 - TMS Fellow Award (The Metals, Materials, and Minerals Society)
Receiving the TMAS Fellow Award from Rusty Gray, president
For global leadership in the field of mechanical behavior of materials and for original and seminal contributions to the fundamental mechanisms in shock compression, shear localization, grain-size effects, and biological materials. View PDF
2011 - Albert Sauveur Achievement Award (ASM INternational)
For pioneering work leading to the understanding of dynamic response of materials to high-strain rate processing, deformation, fracture, fragmentation, for bridging the micro and macro processes involved, and for innovative research on biological materials.
Marc André Meyers received the Albert Sauveur Achievement Award from Dr. Mark Smith, ASM International president, at the Materials Science and Technology Congress in Columbus, Ohio, on October 16, 2011.
Citation: For pioneering work leading to the understanding of dynamic response of materials to high strain rate processing, deformation, fracture, and fragmentation; for bridging the micro and macro process involved and for innovative research on biological materials.
The Albert Sauveur Achievement Award was established in 1934. It recognizes pioneering
materials science and engineering achievements that have stimulated organized work
along similar lines to such an extent that a marked basic advance has been made in the
knowledge of materials science and engineering.
Dr. Sauveur, Honorary Member of ASM International, was born in Louvain, Belgium in 1863, educated at Athenée Royal, Brussels; the School of Mines, Liege and, finally, at MIT, graduating in 1889. Later he conducted his own laboratory and published the now famous Metallographist, a quarterly which carried most of the important metallographic literature of the day. In 1899, he joined the staff of Harvard University, where he established the first metallographic laboratory in any university. From 1924 until his death in 1939, he was Gordon McKay Professor of Mining and Metallurgy at Harvard. Affectionately known throughout the metallurgical world as the "dean of American metallurgists", Dr. Sauveur's pioneering work produced the first photomicrographs of steel made in the United States. His book on "Metallography and Heat Treatment of Iron and Steel", first published in 1912, was a standard textbook for a quarter of a century.

September 18, 2009: Marc Andre Meyers is the recipient of the 2009 Rinehart Award, given at
the 9th Congress of the DYMAT Association
on the Dynamic Mechanical and Physical Behavior
of Materials Subjected to Dynamic Loading, held in Brussels, Belgium, from September 7 to 11.
This congress was held at the Royal Military Academy and had a participation of 300 researchers
from 29 countries. DYMAT is a European based global association coordinating activities in the
domain of dynamic behavior of materials. The award was given at the inaugural session of the meeting,
after keynote lectures by Profs. Field and Meyers , by General Major Harry Vindervogel, commander of
the Royal Military Academy, and by Dr. Richard Dormeval (CEA-France), president of DYMAT.
The DYMAT award, established in 1990, is a truly global recognition, and past recipients are from
the US (4) , Russia (1), Japan (1), Germany (1), and China (1). In 2009, the award was given to
Prof. Meyers (UCSD) and to Prof. Field (U. Cambridge, UK). The citation in the plaque received by
Prof. Meyers reads: For outstanding achievements to the understanding and modeling of the
structure/ property and damage behavior of materials subjected to high-strain-rate and shock-wave loading.

2008-Honorary Professorship: Harbing Engineering University
December 2008 - Honorary professorship received by Marc Meyers from Professor Liu, President, at the Harbin Engineering
University. HEU was founded in the early 1950s as the premier military university in China. Its first president was General Chen, a hero in the liberation war who also fought in Korea and Vietnam. The buildings represent some of the most impressive architecture from the 50s. Today it is a university with 30,000 students.
