Huey, Lacour, Murray, Neaton, and Visoly-Fisher to chair 2019 MRS Fall Meeting www.mrs.org/fall2019
T
he Meeting chairs for the 2019 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting are Bryan D. Huey (University of Connecticut, USA), Stéphanie P. Lacour (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland), Conal E. Murray (IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA), Jeffrey B. Neaton (University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA), and Iris Visoly-Fisher (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel). The Meeting will be held December 1–6, 2019, in Boston, Mass. Bryan D. Huey is a professor and the head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Connecticut (UConn). He earned a BS degree from Stanford University, MS and PhD degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, and worked as a postdoc at Oxford Materials and the National Institute of Standards and Technology before joining UConn in 2004. He is an expert in the development and application of advanced variations of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Using conventional, functional, high speed, and lately tomographic AFM, HueyAFM Labs investigates piezo-electrics, multiferroics, photovoltaics, semiconductors, microelectromechanical systems, biological cells and tissue, and pharmaceutical coatings. He received the Fulrath Award from The American Ceramic Society in 2016, and was honored as an Outstanding Faculty Member in UConn’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Huey has co-chaired two MRS symposia, co-organ-ized Electronic Materials and Applications and US–Japan conferences, and served as the chair of the Basic Science Division of The American Ceramic Society.
Stéphanie P. Lacour holds the Bertarelli Foundation Chair in Neuroprosthetic Technology in the School of Engineering and is the head of the Laboratory for Soft Bioelectronic Interfaces at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). She is also a full professor in microengineering and bioengineering at EPFL. She is a co-founding member and the current director of the EPFL Center for Neuroprosthetics. Lacour received her PhD degree in electrical engineering from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon, France, and completed postdoctoral research at Princeton University and the University of Cambridge. Her work seeks to advance fundamental concepts in human-made electronic systems applied to biology. Specifically, the focus is on designing
and manufacturing electronic devices with mechanical properties close to those of the host biological tissue so that long-term reliability and minimal perturbation are induced in vivo, and truly wearable systems become possible. Lacour was elected as a 2015 Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. Conal E. Murray is a research staff member at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. He received a ScB degree in mechanics and materials science from Harvard University, a MS degree in mechanical engineering from Boston University, and a PhD degree in materials science and en
