he MRS Bulletin 2014 volume organizers, who will guide the development of theme topics for the 2014 volume year, are Deborah E. Leckband (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA), Yuri Suzuki (Stanford University, USA), Enrico Traversa (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia), and Yonhua (Tommy) Tzeng (National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan). Requests for instructions on submitting proposals for MRS Bulletin theme topics can be emailed to [email protected]. Deborah E. Leckband is the Reid T. Milner Professor in the Chemistry Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She received her BS degree from Humboldt State University and her PhD degree from Cornell University, then held a postdoctorate position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of California–Santa Barbara. Her research focuses on the interfacial properties of biomaterials, biomolecular and cell interactions with materials, and biological adhesion. She is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. Yuri Suzuki is currently a professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University. She received an AB degree from Harvard University and a PhD degree in applied physics from Stanford University. Following her postdoctoral position at AT&T Bell Labs, Suzuki

was an assistant and associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University. She then moved to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California–Berkeley as an associate professor and was later promoted to professor. Most recently, she moved to Stanford University. Suzuki’s research is focused on the study of novel ground states and functional properties in condensed- matter systems synthesized through atomically precise thin-film deposition techniques. Her recent emphasis has been on highly correlated electronic systems, especially new spintronic materials that address fundamental questions that still exist in magnetism. Suzuki has been recognized with an NSF Career Award, ONR Young Investigator Award, David and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellowship, Robert Lansing Hardy Award of TMS, Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award of the American Physical Society, and American Competitiveness and Innovation Fellowship of the National Science Foundation. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). She has served in the American Physical Society and the Materials Research Society, including MRS Meeting Chair and Board of Directors. Enrico Traversa just joined King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia, after being the director of the Department of Fuel Cell Research at the International Center for Renewable Energy, Xi’an Jiaotong University, China. Traversa joined the
