T

he MRS Bulletin 2020 Volume Organizers, appointed by MRS President Michael R. Fitzsimmons, will guide the development of theme topics for the 2020 volume year. They are Hongyou Fan (Sandia National Laboratories and The University of New Mexico, USA), Oleg Gang (Columbia University and Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA), Seokwoo Jeon (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Republic of Korea), and Tae-Woo Lee (Seoul National University, Republic of Korea). Hongyou Fan is a distinguished member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories and is a national laboratory professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at The University of New Mexico. He earned his PhD degree from The University of New Mexico in chemical engineering. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, N.M., before working there full-time. His current research focuses on the development of active nanomaterials for nanoelectronic and nanophotonic applications. Fan is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and MRS, and he has received the MRS Kavli Distinguished Lectureship Award in Nanoscience, an R&D 100 Award for the development of technically significant products, the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer-Outstanding Technology Development Award, The University of New Mexico Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award, and the Asian American Engineer of the Year Award. Oleg Gang is a professor of chemical engineering and of applied physics and materials science at Columbia University, and is a leader of the Soft and Bio Nanomaterials Group at Brookhaven National

Laboratory (BNL). His research explores the behavior of soft matter at the nanoscale, and he develops novel strategies for programmable assembly of targeted nanomaterials with designed spatial organizations. Gang earned a PhD degree from Bar-Ilan University, was a postdoctoral Rothschild Fellow at Harvard University, and was a Distinguished Goldhaber Fellow at BNL, where he became a leader of the Soft and Bio Nanomaterials Group at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials. In 2016, Gang joined the faculty at Columbia University. His group develops new strategies for creating materials by design using nano-assembly approaches, as well as employs advanced in situ probes for understanding structure formation. Gang has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Gordon Battelle Prize for Scientific Discovery and the US Department of Energy Outstanding Mentor Award, and he is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Seokwoo Jeon is a chair professor of materials science and engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). He is also the director of the Advanced MEMS GC Center for Drug Detection Project, granted by the Korea Police Department, and a founding member of the Young Korean Academy of Science and Technology. He received a PhD degree in materials science and engineer
