Cao, Kim, Naik, Rondinelli, and Wang to chair the 2020 MRS Spring Meeting www.mrs.org/spring2020
T
he Meeting Chairs for the 2020 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting are Qing Cao (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA), Miyoung Kim (Seoul National University, South Korea), Rajesh Naik (Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, USA), James Rondinelli (Northwestern University, USA), and Hong Wang (Southern University of Science and Technology, China). The Meeting will be held April 13–17, 2020, in Phoenix, Ariz. Qing Cao is an associate professor of materials science and engineering and of chemistry and electrical engineering at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. Prior to joining the University of Illinois in 2018, Cao was a research scientist in the Department of Physical Sciences at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. He received a BSc degree in chemistry from Nanjing University in 2004 and a PhD degree in materials chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2009. Cao’s interdisciplinary research focuses on developing functional nanomaterials for unconventional electronic systems, highperformance logic devices, and low-cost energy harvesting. He has published more than 30 research papers and is a co-inventor on 50 patents and patent applications. Cao’s research has received numerous recognitions. He also made Forbes’ list of “30 Under 30” in 2012 in the science category and further received the distinction of this list’s “Most Influential All-Star Alumni” in 2016. MIT Technology Review listed him in 2016 as one of the top 35 global innovators under the age of 35 (TR35). In 2017, the Atlantic Council selected him as one of 21 “rising leaders and innovators around

the world committed to achieving transformational change with a global impact” (Millennium Fellow). Miyoung Kim is a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Seoul National University, Republic of Korea. She also serves as a director of the Characterization Center at the Research Institute of Advanced Materials at Seoul National University, and is on the Committee of International Cooperation for the Korean Society of Microscopy. After completing her PhD degree in physics from Arizona State University, with work on the charge density of d-electrons, Kim joined the microscopy group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and later was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She then worked at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology on the structural characterization of high-k materials and semiconductor devices. Kim has made important contributions to the fields of resistive memory devices and energy materials using in situ transmission electron microscopy. Currently, her research focuses on retrieving atomic and electronic structures directly from scanning transmission electron microscope images and electron energy-loss spectra to explore the atomistic origin of physical properties in optical and electronic devices, catalysts,
