CORROSION Editorial Board

John R. Scully, FNACE
Technical Editor in Chief of CORROSION

Dr. John R. Scully is the Charles Henderson Chaired Professor of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), the Co-director of the Center for Electrochemical Science and Engineering, and MSE Department Chair at the University of Virginia. Previously, Dr. Scully was a senior technical staff member at Sandia National Laboratories and the David Taylor Naval Research and Development Center. Dr. Scully received a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University in Materials Science and Engineering.

He has been devoted to research and education in corrosion focusing on the effects of material structure, composition, and environment on corrosion of both novel advanced materials, coatings, and legacy materials. Electrochemistry, surface science, and material science are frequently integrated in his research to advance fundamental understanding and engineering of corrosion issues. He has co-authored over 250 archival papers, proceedings articles, and books or book chapters.

Dr. Scully is a Technical Fellow of the Electrochemical Society, NACE, and the American Society for Metals; received the A.B. Campbell, H.H. Uhlig, W.R. Whitney, and T.J. Hull Awards from NACE, the H.H. Uhlig Award from the Electrochemical Society, the T.P. Hoar and U.R. Evans Awards from the British Corrosion Institute, the Lee Hsun Lecture Award from the Chinese National Academy of Science, and the Francis La Que Award from ASTM. He chaired the 2004 Gordon Research Conference on Aqueous Corrosion.

Dr. Scully has served as a consultant to or member of numerous blue ribbon panels dealing with national and international corrosion issues in several countries, including the Columbia Space Shuttle Accident Investigation Board. He has made key contributions to several NMAB national academy, defense science task force, and international corrosion reviews.

Research Interests: corrosion and electrochemical sciences and engineering, surface and interface science and engineering, magnetic materials, metallurgy, high-temperature materials science and oxides, computation materials science, structures and mechanics (sustainable infrastructure systems), advanced materials for transportation applications
