In recognition for academic excellence in the Materials
Science & Engineering program at McMaster University
as well as for pursuing a strong interest in steelmaking
technology through co-op term at IPSCO and by
conducting outstanding research on slag-metal reactions
while an undergraduate student.
Michael Pomeroy
is a Materials Engineering
student from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Last June, he
completed the second year of his program and in the summer, he worked
at McMaster University as a research student. The research was in the area
of chromium oxide reduction in slags. This summer, he has been working
as a co-op student at IPSCO in Regina, Saskatchewan in the Research and
Development facility. The work there has so far revolved primarily around
new product development. Michael has also been involved in some
moisture analysis studies on the fluxes used at the IPSCO Regina facility.
The steel industry is exciting to him and it is in this area that he hopes to
pursue a career. Michael is grateful to MetSoc for awarding him this D.A.R.
Kay Award and helping him to advance his education in this field.
