J. Charles Barbour
Paul S. Drzaic
Chairs for the 2006 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting are J. Charles Barbour (Sandia National Laboratories), Paul S. Drzaic (Alien Technology Corp.), Gregg S. Higashi (Applied Materials), and Viola Vogel (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). The meeting will be held in San Francisco, Calif., April 17–21, 2006. J. Charles Barbour is group manager and deputy director for Defense Programs, Nanosciences, in the Physical, Chemical, and Biomolecular Sciences Center at Sandia National Laboratories. He joined Sandia in 1987 after spending one year as a visiting scientist in The Netherlands, where he was hosted jointly by the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (Amsterdam) and Philips Research Laboratories (Eindhoven). While at Sandia, Barbour has led research in corrosion science, mechanical properties of nanostructured materials, plasma synthesis of materials, ion-beam modification of materials, and ion-beam analysis. He has over 150 technical publications and two patents. Currently, Barbour is a nanomechanics thrust leader in the new Department of Energy, Office of Science Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT). He serves on the International Committees for the Ion Beam Modification of Materials Conference and the Radiation Effects in Insulators Conference. Barbour received a BS degree in engineering physics from the Colorado School of Mines (1980) and a PhD degree in materials science from Cornell University (1986). Barbour has been active in the Materials Research Society since 1982. Paul S. Drzaic is vice president for Advanced Development at Alien Technology Corporation, a start-up company developing radio frequency identification tags employing manufacturing technology incorporating self-assembly. He has also served as director of technology for E Ink Corp, and principal scientist for Raychem MRS BULLETIN • VOLUME 30 • JULY 2005
Gregg S. Higashi
Corp. Drzaic has been active in both the materials science research and the international display research communities. He is a recipient of the 2002 Team Innovation award from the American Chemical Society, as well as R&D Magazine’s 2001 “Best of the Best” Editor’s Choice and R&D 100 awards. He is author of the 1995 book Liquid Crystal Dispersions, over 30 technical publications, and 39 issued U.S. patents. Drzaic served as a 2004 Volume Organizer for MRS Bulletin and currently serves on the Editorial Board. He organized the inaugural symposium for flexible displays and electronics at the 2002 MRS Spring Meeting. Drzaic is a Fellow of the Society for Information Display (SID), serves on the SID Board of Directors, and has organized several major conferences for that organization. Drzaic received a PhD degree in chemistry from Stanford University, where his thesis involved electron-detachment spectroscopy of gas phase ions and where he was an NSF predoctoral Fellow. He also holds a BS degree in chemistry, summa cum laude, fr
