Bettinger, Maier, Ngan, Ready, and Sutter to chair 2017 MRS Spring Meeting
Alfonso H.W. Ngan is the Kingboard Professor in materials engineering, chair professor of materials science and engineering, and associate dean of engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). He obtained his BSc(Eng) degree from The University of Hong Kong in 1989, and a PhD degree from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom in 1992. After a year of postdoctoral training at the University of Oxford, he joined HKU as a lecturer in 1993, and was promoted to a chair professorship in 2011. Ngan’s research work is focused on the microstructural basis of properties of engineering materials, and, in particular, crystalline defects and their modeling, and more recently, nanomechanics, including applications to biological systems. He has published over 180 ISI papers and co-authored two books. His research-related honors include the Rosenhain Medal and Prize from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining in 2007. He was also awarded a higher doctorate (DSc) from the University of Birmingham in 2008, and received the Croucher Senior Research Fellowship in 2009. In 2014, he was elected to the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences. He has won the Outstanding Reviewer Award of Scripta Materialia four times. He has organized a number of conferences, including Dislocations 2008 and the Gordon Research Conference on Nanomechanical Interfaces in 2013, both held in Hong Kong. He is a member of the Hong Kong Advisory Board for Gordon Research Conferences. W. Jud Ready is the deputy director for innovation initiatives for the Georgia Institute of Technology’s (Georgia Tech) Institute for Materials. He has also been an adjunct professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech, and a principal research

eeting chairs for the 2017 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting are Christopher J. Bettinger (Carnegie Mellon University, USA), Stefan A. Maier (Imperial College London, United Kingdom), Alfonso H.W. Ngan (The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong), W. Jud Ready (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA), and Eli A. Sutter (University of Nebraska–Lincoln, USA). The Meeting will be held April 17–21, 2017, in Phoenix, Ariz. Christopher J. Bettinger is an associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in the Departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. He directs CMU’s Laboratory for Biomaterialsbased Microsystems and Electronics, which is broadly interested in the design of novel materials and interfaces that integrate medical devices with the human body. Recent efforts focus on flexible electronics for neural interfaces and edible electronics for ingestible diagnostics and therapeutics. He received a SB degree in chemical engineering, a MEng degree in biomedical engineering, and a PhD degree in materials science and engineering as a Charles Stark Draper Fellow, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He completed his postd
