Abstract:  
CONGRATULATIONS to our 2023 Shot Peeners of the Year—Purdue University Professors Dave Bahr, David Johnson, and Paul Mort. Since 1992, The Shot Peener magazine has recognized individuals for their contributions to the shot peening industry and scientific community. According to Tom Brickley, Vice President of Electronics Inc., “Purdue University is one of the top engineering schools in the United States. For years, these professors have dived into shot peening research beyond the surface (no pun intended) of traditional thinking. They are not only engaged in their own research, they are taking shot peening interest to their students and they founded the leading industry university research alliance for the metal surface finishing industry—the Center for Surface Engineering and Enhancement (CSEE). They will host the 15th International Conference on Shot Peening on the Purdue campus. The EI staff is very pleased that The Shot Peener magazine has recognized their contribution to our industry.”
