Conference on Ion Implantation Techno logy. Jones is on the editorial board of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. He has published over 200 papers in the field of defects in semiconductors, written several review chapters on the subject, and edited several books. Frances M. Ross is a research staff member at the IBM TJ. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York. She received her PhD degree on transmission electron microscopy of Silicon oxides from Cambridge University, and then worked for two years as a postdoctoral
Fellow at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. During rhis time she carried out in situ electron microscopy experiments on Silicon oxidation and dislocation motion in electronic devices. She then spent four years as a staff scientist at the National Center for Electron Micros copy at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, supervising the Operation of the Berkeley atomic resolution microscope and the in situ microscope and developing specimen holders for dynamic experi ments on electrochemical etching of Silicon and domain motion in ferroelectric materi-
als. She moved to IBM in 1997 and has recently been studying epitaxial growth processes of semiconductors and silicides by making real time observations in the microscope. Ross' interests include the^ application of in situ electron microscopy to understanding reaction mechanisms, in particular semiconductor growth, surface reactions, and electrochemistry, as well as applied aero- and hydrodynamics. She has organized MRS symposia on Materials in Sports and Recreation and Electron Microscopy of Semiconducting Materials.
H H H Featured Volunteer Beth Stadler Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee What is your Motto? The light shown in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
What is yourfavorite dement? I would have to say oxygen because I can't seem to get enough of oxides, probably having nothing to do with my training as a ceramist! I also remember the image of a hungry oxygen atom devouring electrons which produced surface and grain boundary complications in the devices Prof. Tuller discussed in my grad classes at MIT. It may also explain why, when we were looking for a new car, I wanted a Lumina so that I could get vanity plates A1203, get it? In fact, I think I'd die without oxygen.
Ifyou were not a materials researcher, what would you be? I have visited a 4th grade class at St. Odelias in the Twin Cities. The students misread my name which Mrs. Ruzynski had written on the board as Mrs. Stadler and they called me Mrs. Scientist. I've always thought it would be fun to be a professional promoter of science as Mrs. Scientist, PhD! What common household item do you use in your lab? Scotch Brite™ removes next to anything from a vacuum Chamber almost as well as from a kitchen sink.
What do you readfirst in MRS Bulletin? I like to read University Chapter News first, if there is a Submission for the month. What was the last book you read? Besides the textbooks I consider for classes and MRS Pr
