Bunning, Hwang, Kaiser, and Lewis to Chair 2007 MRS Spring Meeting
Timothy J. Bunning
Harold Y. Hwang
Meeting Chairs for the 2007 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting are Timothy J. Bunning (Air Force Research Laboratory), Harold Y. Hwang (University of Tokyo), Debra L. Kaiser (National Institute of Standards and Technology), and Jennifer A. Lewis (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). The meeting will be held in San Francisco April 9–13, 2007. Timothy J. Bunning is a principal materials research engineer and the research leader of the Hardened Materials Branch of the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. After receiving his PhD degree in chemical engineering in 1992 from the University of Connecticut, he spent a short postdoctoral tenure at Cornell University before starting his position at AFRL. His current research interest centers on advanced organic-based photonic materials and components, specifically, passive and dynamic diffractive structures formed using complex holographic photopolymerization techniques, development of polymer photonic structures using plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition, structure development of polymer/liquid crystal composites, and liquid-crystalline materials and technologies. He is currently the project leader for a diverse internal and external research and development effort that is developing new materials and approaches for integration in optical sensing, laser beam control, and filtering applications. He is the author or co-author of about 120 refereed journal articles and four book chapters. He has edited four books, holds nine patents, and has given more than 350 presentations. He was awarded the 2002 John H. Dillon Medal by the Division of Polymer Physics of the American Physical Society. Harold Y. Hwang is an associate profesMRS BULLETIN • VOLUME 31 • JUNE 2006

sor in the Department of Advanced Materials Science and the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Tokyo. Prior to joining the faculty in 2003, he was a member of technical staff in the Materials Physics Research Department at Lucent Technologies/Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. Hwang has been active in the study of charge transport, spin and lattice dynamics, and ordering transitions in transition-metal oxides, as well as the development of chalcogenide glass waveguides and claddings for photonics applications. His current research interest is in atomic-scale synthesis of thin-film complex oxide heterostructures, focusing on the control of the electronic structure at interfaces and in confined geometries. Hwang received a Sakigake Fellowship from the Japan Science and Technology Corp. in 2003, a Mitsubishi Foundation Award in 2004, and the 2005 MRS Outstanding Young Investigator Award. He received a BS degree in physics and BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1993, and a PhD degree in physics from P
