Fauchet, Poker, and Taub are 1993 MRS Fall Meeting Chairs November 29-December 3,1993, Boston, Massachusetts
Philipe M. Fauchet
Philipe M. Fauchet, David B. Poker, and Alan I. Taub will serve as meeting chairs for the 1993 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston. "The annual meetings of MRS play a critical role in modern research," says Philipe Fauchet, "because they are among the very few truly interdisciplinary forums, where physicists, chemists, materials scientists, engineers, and others can meet and discuss their progress and problems. My own research is a combination of optics, solidstate physics, materials sciences, and engineering that requires a constant dialogue between these disciplines. Research involving almost any type of advanced materials has similar requirements. The Fall 1993 Meeting will provide a forum for this dialogue, between related symposia emphasizing different aspects of a similar problem, and within each symposium, where there will be invited and contributed presentations that emphasize complementary aspects of a given field. "In addition, there will be ample opportunities for a dialogue between industrial, academic, and national laboratory researchers, from North America as well as from the rest of the world. Student participation, crucial for the future of not only MRS but also our technological society, will be encouraged through programs such as the graduate student awards. The program of the Fall 1993 Meeting preserves the strength of MRS in the areas traditionally represented at Boston, such as semiconductor materials, beam-solid interactions, or fractals. It will also include new fields such as biomaterials, materials processes for factories, or new solid-state laser hosts, which are of growing technological and societal interests." Philipe M. Fauchet is an associate professor of electrical engineering at the Uni-
David B. Poker
versity of Rochester and a scientist at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, where he researches femtosecond optical spectroscopy. His group conducts electronic and optical processes in III-V semiconductors and noncrystalline silicon, as well as other optoelectronic and materials studies. After studying electrical engineering in Belgium, Fauchet received his MS degree in engineering from Brown University and his PhD degree in physics from Stanford University. Following an IBM Postdoctoral Fellowship, he joined the Princeton University electrical engineering faculty where he received numerous awards for his work, including an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship and an NSF Presidential Young Investigator award. Fauchet is the author of nearly 150 publications and invited papers and presentations and has chaired several conferences and symposia with SPIE and IEEE LEOS, as well as with MRS. David B. Poker is group leader of the Surface Modification and Characterization Research Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and is responsible for the operation of the facility as well as its collaborative research program. His research interests include ion implantation of L
