Jin, Mikos, Srolovitz, and Stritzkerto Chair 2000 MRS Fall Meeting
Sungho Jin
Antonios G. Mikos
The 2000 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston, N o v e m b e r 27 to December 1, will be chaired by Sungho Jin (Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies), Antonios G. Mikos (Rice University), David J. Srolovitz (Princeton University), and Bernd Stritzker (University of Augsburg, Germany). The meeting's 34 symposia will highlight new advances in the synthesis and application of materials in fields ranging from advanced integrated circuits to biomaterials. Four symposia on biomaterials have been included in order to reflect the recent surge in interest in the subject. Orthopedic/dental, cardiovascular, neurologic biomaterials, and biomate rials for drug delivery will be covered. These symposia will address important issues of synthesis, processing, characterization, and evaluation of biomaterials for medical and pharmaceutical applications. Many new and developing areas of materials science as well as some wellestablished and populär topics have been included. Several Silicon processing sym posia will cover areas from dopant-defect interactions, silicides, and dielectrics to interconnects. Thin-film materials and processes will be well represented, featuring magnetoelectronics, polycrystalline films, corrosion and epitaxy of oxides and semiconductors. Symposia on materials processing and devices will present the state-of-the-art in flat-panel displays, wide-bandgap devices, and novel oxidebased devices. Interesting materials such as optoelectronic polymers and thermoelectrics will also be discussed, and MRS will host two new symposia on millimeterwave technology for materials characterization and on direct-write technologies. Two symposia will be dedicated to materi als modeling and, for the first time on the West Coast, a Symposium on materials education will be held. A Symposium on analyzing, predicting, and preventing dis-

fessor in 1999. Mikos' research contributions have been in the synthesis, process ing, and evaluation of new biomaterials for tissue engineering, scaffolds for threedimensional cell culture, conduits for guided tissue regeneration, Substrates for targeted cell adhesion, carriers for controlled drug delivery, and nonviral vectors for gene therapy. His research has led to the development of novel orthopedic, cardiovascular, neurologic, and Ophthal mologie biomaterials. Mikos was elected Fellow of the Ameri can Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 1999. He has been recognized by various awards including the 1998 Young Investigator Research AchieveJin has published about 200 papers, has given more than 80 invited talks at variment Award of the Controlled Release ous materials-related technical meetings, Society, the 1996 O u t s t a n d i n g Young and has 140 U.S. patents issued or pend Investigator Award of the Materials ing. He serves as a Principal Editor of the Research Society, the 1994 Whitaker Young Journal of Materials Rese
