Hull Leads Executive Committee in 1997 Robert Hull, associate professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Virginia, automatically assumes the position of the 1997 Materials Research Society president from his position as First Vice President in 1996. He succeeds Carl V. Thompson from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who now serves MRS as immediate past president. Robert J. Nemanich (North Carolina State University) moves from his elected position in 1996 of Second Vice President to Vice President (President-Elect). Beginning in 1997, MRS no longer has a Second Vice President, and for 1998, members will elect a Vice President (President-Elect). Alan J. Hurd (Sandia National Laboratories) is the newly elected Treasurer for a two-year term, and Kevin Jones (University of Florida) enters the second year of his two-year term as Secretary. MRS Council has re-elected two councillors to serve one-year terms on the executive committee: Ronald Gibala and Alan I. Taub. The newly elected MRS councillors for 1997 are Theodore M. Besmann, Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Amy J. Moll, Hewlett Packard; and Timothy D. Sands, University of California—Berkeley. They join the following current members of council: Cammy R. Abernathy, University of Florida; Harry A. Atwater, California Institute of Technology; Charles B. Duke, Xerox Wilson Center; Ronald Gibala, University of Michigan; Martin L. Green, Lucent Technologies/Bell Labs; James M.E. Harper, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center; Gabrielle G. Long, National Institute of Standards and Technology; Virginia M. Oversby, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Manfred Riihle, Max-PlanckInstitut fur Metallforschung; Lyle H. Schwartz, National Institute of Standards and Technology; Alan I. Taub, Ford Motor Company; and James S. Williams, Australian National University. Robert Hull President
Robert Hull is an associate professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Virginia. His research interests in the past decade have included superionic conductors, radiation damage mechanisms, metallic superlattices, tribology, ceramic superconductors, ion implantation, x-ray mirror materials and quantum wires and dots. The primary focus of his research,

however, is in electronic materials, particularly the structure and properties of interfaces, defects, and thin films. The principal experimental tools used in his research are electron microscopy and focused ion beams. Prior to joining the University of Virginia, Hull worked in the Materials Research Department at AT&T Bell Laboratories and the Materials Characterization Department at Hewlett Packard Laboratories. Hull received his PhD degree in materials science from Oxford, England, in 1983. Along with serving MRS as first vice president, Hull served as second vice president (1995), on Council from 1992 to 1994, and on the Publications, Program, Academic Affairs, and Continuing Education Committees. He co-chaired three MRS symposia and was a c
