Special recognition for DMTC Fellow

Federal Member for Ryan, the Hon Jane Prentice MP, used a speech in Federal Parliament earlier this year to publicly acknowledge the career of one of the founding fathers of DMTC, Emeritus Professor David St.John from the University of Queensland.

You can watch Mrs Prentice’s speech here.

The recognition in Federal Parliament followed David’s acceptance, earlier this year, of one of three inaugural DMTC Fellowships for significant meritorious contributions to the company.

In March 2019  a symposium named in Professor St John’s honour will be held at the international TMS 2019 conference in Texas. TMS brings together more than 4,000 engineers, scientists, business leaders and other professionals in the minerals, metals and materials disciplines.
