R. R. Chianelli Three active MRS members have been appointed Meeting Chairs for the 1987 MRS Spring Meeting to be held in Anaheim, CA, April 21-25, 1987. R. R. Chianelli, G. K. Hubler, and G. L. Olson will direct the logistics and technical emphasis for this meeting, which will include 12 technical symposia, the first MRS West Coast equipment ex hi bit, an ex tensive short course program, and a job placementcenter. Russ Chianelli received his PhD in chemistry from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1974, where his interests spanned solid-state chemistry, x-ray diffraction, and polymer science. Since 1974 he has been employed by the Corporate Research Laboratories of Exxon Research and Engineering Co., Clinton, NJ, where he is senior research associate and head of the Catalytic Materialsand Chemistry Group. Hisgroup, which is interdisciplinary in make-up, works in the areas of solid-state chemistry and physics, materials science, surface science, x-ray scattering, organic chemistry, and catalysis. He is the author of over 60 publications and 25 patents in the fields of catalysis, solid-state chemistry, organic and inorganic materials, and electrochemistry. Chianelli served as co-chair of the symposium on Catalysis by Solids: Bulk Properties, Surface Properties, and Defects at the 1984 MRS Fall Meeting and brings a wealth of experience to his role as Meeting Chair. He sees the 1987 Spring Meeting as an opportunity to include new areas of interdisciplinary materials research which are of current high interest but not traditionally included within previous MRS meetings. "We hope that the '87 Spring Meeting will help tocreate new synergisms with the research community," he said. Graham Hubler received his PhD in nuclear physics from Rutgers University in 1 972 and held a postdoctoral fellow position at the Naval Research Laboratory. He PACE 42, MRS BULLETIN, JULY/AUGUST 1986
joined NRL in 1975 as staff research physicist in the Radiation Effects Branch. In 1976 he moved to the Materials Modification and Analysis Branch, where he is presently head of the Surface Modification Physics Section. His research interests lie in the field of ion-solid interactions centering on ion beam modification of metals and semiconductors. Since co-chairing the symposium on Ion Implantation and Ion Beam Processing of Materials at the 1983 MRS Fall Meeting, Hubler has seen the rapid growth in materials coverage at MRS meetings. His goal for the 1987 Spring Meeting is tooffer integrated symposia on emerging topics of interest to West Coast industries and universities and to highlight some new areas that haven't yet been addressed by the Society. "I also want to keep a small posture for the meeting," he said, "so that the problem of overlapping topics of interest can be minimized, and because I believe smaller meetings can produce better informational exchange." Greg Olson received a BS in chemistry from North Dakota State University in 1972 and a PhD in physical chemistry from the University of Colorado in 1977. His thesis
