On April 9, 2014, Prof. Terry Lowe was invited to become a member of the International NanoSPD Steering Committee. The NanoSPD (Nonomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation) Committee was formed in 2002 in Vienna, Austria to coordinate research in the NanoSPD area by providing a platform for the exchange of ideas and information on all aspects of NanoSPD. The committee organizes workshops, seminars, personal meetings, and other correspondence to introduce and discuss terminology applied to this growing field of science and engineering. Lowe was chosen by the founding members of the NanoSPD Committee based on his scientific merits in this area.
