Kuech, Renschler, and Tsai to Chair 1996 MRS Spring Meeting April 8-12,1996, San Francisco, California
Chuang Chuang Tsai Clifford L. Renschler Thomas F. Kuech, Clifford L. Renschler, and Chuang Chuang Tsai will chair the 1996 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco. The meeting will feature 28 symposia covering a broad range of materials science and engineering as well as processing topics. This meeting provides a set of strong topical symposia that cross conventional research boundaries, continuing the MRS practice of providing a forum for the exchange of information across disciplines that are at the leading edge of materials research. A set of traditional MRS symposia offered includes elemental and compound semiconductors, nitrides and other wide bandgap semiconductors, amorphous silicon and display materials, ceramics, superconductors, rapid thermal processing, and photovoltaics. Several symposia will focus on emerging areas of materials research including microporous and mesoporous materials, novel polymer architectures, innovation in instrumentation, geochemistry of oxides, and hybrid organic and inorganic materials. Tutorial reviews on topics featured in selected symposia will be offered in addition to Symposium X, Frontiers in Materials Research. An exhibit will accompany the technical symposia. Thomas F. Kuech is a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. He received his PhD degree from the California Institute of Technology in applied physics, and an MS degree in materials science and BS degree in physics from Marquette University. Prior to his present position he was manager of an epitaxial growth effort at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Laboratory,
responsible for the development of materials and structures for both electronic and photonic devices. His research interests include metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of compound semiconductors, materials characterization, and device fabrication as well as physics of semiconductors and electronic device structures. He is the coauthor of over 160 publications and the holder of several patents. He has received several awards, including an IBM Outstanding Innovation Achievement Award for discovery of long-range order in alloy semiconductors (1986) and for identification of doping mechanisms in MOVPE (1989), and the 1987 Young Authors Award from the American Association for Crystal Growth. Kuech served as principal author in several MRS symposia. He is active in materials science-related organizations such as the American Association for Crystal Growth and the American Vacuum Society, both serving as an officer and organizing conferences in the areas of crystal growth and epitaxy. Clifford L. Renschler is manager of the
Properties of Organic Materials Department at Sandia National Laboratories. His department is responsible for development and characterization of novel organic and organic/inorganic hybrid materials for weapons, energy, and industrial applications. Renschler received his BS degree in chemistry from the Univer
