ASTM International has established the Professor of the Year 2022 award to recognize and reward the contributions of educators in developing students’ understanding of standards.   Candidates for the award include professors and instructors at an accredited university worldwide who have demonstrated outstanding use of ASTM standards in their teaching.  The ASTM International Professor of the Year Award is presented annually to recognize and reward the contributions of educators in developing students’ understanding of consensus standards.

Phalguni Mukhopadhyaya, Ph.D., a professor of building envelopes and structures at the University of Victoria, Canada, has received ASTM International’s 2022 Professor of the Year award.  Throughout his career, Phalguni has been a strong promoter of ASTM standards. Before joining UVic in 2015, while employed by the National Research Council Canada (NRCC), he was an adjunct professor at Carleton University.  He delivered numerous lectures to graduate and undergraduate university students, highlighting the importance of standardization and ASTM standards in the construction industry. In fact, one of his graduate students produced a  thesis which has become the basis for a new ASTM standard currently under development.
