Orlando Auciello has recently joined the University of Texas at Dallas. Previously, he was an Argonne Distinguished Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), where he shared his time between the Materials Science Division and the Center for Nanoscale Materials. His work until 1996 expanded the science and technology of ion, plasma, and laser interaction with solids, and hightemperature superconducting, high-K dielectrics, electro-optic and ferroelectric thin films. At ANL, Auciello continued his work on multicomponent oxide films. Auciello earned his MS (1973) and PhD (1976) degrees from the Physics Institute “Dr. Balseiro” (National University of Cuyo, Argentina). He did his postdoctorate work (1977–1979) at McMaster University, Canada; and h
