Chianelli Assumes MRS Presidency in 1990 Roberto, Cargill, Jantzen Lead Slate ofNewIy Elected MRS Officiais The Materials Research Society will begin 1990, its 17th year, with nearly 10,000 members, continued growth in both its meetings and publications programs, and "a new and impressive slate of volunteers" among its leadership, according to outgoing MRS Président R.P.H. Chang of Northwestern University. Russell R. Chianelli, a section head with Exxon Research & Engineering who served in 1989 as MRS first vice président, automatically succeeded Chang as président in 1990. Joining Chianelli on the 1990 Executive Committee are James B. Roberto (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), first vice président and president-elect for 1991; G. Slade Cargill (IBM T.J. Watson Research Center), second vice président; and Carol M. Jantzen (Westinghouse Savannah River Company), secretary. Susan M. Kelso (Therma-Wave, Inc.) will continue to serve on the MRS Executive Committee as treasurer through the end of 1990. In addition, seven scientists representing a variety of disciplines were elected to three-year terms on the MRS Council. New councillors are John E.E. Baglin (IBM Almaden Research Center), MUdred S. Dresselhaus (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Harry C. Gatos (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Edward J. Kramer (Cornell University), Frans Spaepen (Harvard University), and C.W. (Woody) White (Oak Ridge National Laboratory). They will join fellow councillors B.R. Appleton (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), Walter L. Brown (AT&T Bell Laboratories), Charles B. Duke (Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories), Elton N. Kaufmann (Argonne National Laboratory), S. Thomas Picraux (Sandia National Laboratories), Gordon E. Pike (Sandia National Laboratories), Délia M. Roy (Pennsylvania State University), and Kathleen C. Taylor (GM Research Laboratories), whose terms expire in either 1990 or 1991. Ail terms are effective January 1.
In announcing the results, Chang said, "MRS was fortunate to hâve a strong group of candidates ail the way around. Because of our continued growth as a Society, we need individuals who are committed to lead and manage that growth without jeopardizing the excitement and responsiveness for which we are known. I hâve confidence that thèse new leaders— activists in the best sensé of the word—will be successful in that objective."
Chianelli received his PhD in chemistry from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1974 before joining Exxon, where he is currently Section Head for the Biological and Catalytic Chemistry Section at the company's research laboratories in Annandale, New Jersey. His research interests include low-temperature synthesis of materials for application in areas of catalysis, lubrication, energy storage, geological processes, biomaterials, and superconductivity; fundamental relations between properties of solids and their applications; and application of advanced characterization techniques in understanding properties of solids. He has long been active in issues of interdisciplinary r
