Bromley to Address 1991 MRS Fall Meeting D. AUan Bromley, assistant to the Président for science and technology and director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy will address 1991 MRS Fall Meeting attendees in a spécial plenary session on Monday, December 2. Among other issues, Bromley is expected to report on progress in the national materials initiative under development by the Fédéral Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering, and Technology (FCCSET). On leave from his position as Henry Ford 11 Professor of Physics at Yale University, where he was founder and director of the A.W. Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory, Bromley is one of the world's leading nuclear physicists. He has carried out pioneering studies on the structure and dynamics of nuclei and is considered the father of modem heavy ion science. He has also played major rôles in the development of accelerators, détection Systems, and computer-based data acquisition and analysis Systems. He has published over
450 papers in science and technology, has edited 18 books, and has received numerous honors and awards, including the National Medal of Science. An outstanding teacher, Bromley has also been a leader in the national and international science and science policy communities. As chairman of the National Academy's Physics Survey in the early 1970s, he contributed to charting the future of that science in the subséquent décade. As président of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, he has been one of the leading spokesmen for U.S. science and for international scientific coopération. Prior to his présent appointaient, Bromley served as a member of the White House Science Council throughout the Reagan administration and as a member of the National Science Board in 1988-1989. As the U.S. chairman forboth the Gandhi-Reagan Indo/U.S. and the Sarney-Reagan Brazil/
U.S. Science and Technology Initiatives, he led four Presidential missions to conduct negoriations for bilatéral coopération in science and technology. Bromley holds BSc and MSc degrees fromQueens University, Ontario, Canada. He received a PhD degree in nuclear physics from the University of Rochester and has been awarded 16 honorary degrees from universities in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, and the U.S. Bromley is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a foreign member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, and a Benjamin Franklin Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (London).
