Passaretti, Rehn, and Schaeferto Chair 1991 MRS Spring Meeting June D. Passaretti, Lynn E. Rehn, and Date W. Schaefer will chair the 1991 MRS Spring Meeting scheduled for April 27 - May 1,1991 in San Francisco, Califomia. Afull roster of symposia is being planned.

June D. Passaretti heads a New Product Development Laboratory at Pfizer Specialty Minerais, where she lias been since 1987. She received a BA in chemistry from William Paterson Collège in New Jersey and a PhD in chemistry from Brown University. Before joining Pfizer she was a member of the staff at Exxon Corporate Research Laboratories. Passaretti's research efforts hâve focused on the synthesis and characterization of inorganicmaterialsandtherelationshipbetween the morphology of thèse materials and their function in applications such ascatalysisand paper making. She is a member of the American Chemical Society, Technical Association of the Pulpand Paper Industries as well as the Materials Research Society. Passaretti co-chaired the MRS symposium on "Materials Interactions Relevant to the Pulp, Paper, and Wood Industries" (Spring 1990), and for the past three years she lias chaired the MRS Public Relations and Publicity Committee. Lynn E. Rehn heads the Irradiation and Kinetic Effects Group in the Materials Science Division at Argonne National Labora-

tory. He received a BA degree (1967) from Albion Collège in Michigan and a PhD (1973) in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During 1970-71 lie served with VISTA in Gary, Indiana, and from 1973-76 was a member of the scientific staff at the Kernforschungsanlage (Nuclear Research Center) in Jùlich, Germany. He is an associate editor for Applied Physics Letters, and currently serves on the editorial advisory boards for the journal of Nuclenr Materials, and for Nuclear Instruments and Mcthods in Physical Research: B. Rehn's primary research interests include fundamental irradiation effects, ion-beam analysis and modification, solid-stateamorphization, and high-Tc lattice instabilities. He was a cowinner of the 1984 DOE award for Outstanding Sustained Research in Metallurgy and Ceramics, and lias co-chaired two MRS symposia, "Fundamentals of Beam-Solid Interactions" (1987 Fall Meeting) and "Processing and Analysis of Materials Using Ion Beams" (1988 Fall Meeting). Dale W. Schaefer lias been the manager of the Organic and Electronic Materials De-

partment at Sandia National Laboratories since 1989. Previously he supervised the Chemical Physics and Corrosion Divisions at Sandia. Schaefer's research interests cover disordered materials, ceramicand polymer materials science, colloid physics, and combustion aérosols. He is currently using inelastic neutron scattering to study the vibra tional dynamics of glasses. Schaefer has a BS in chemistry from Wheaton Collège (Illinois) and a PhD in physical chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before joining Sandia he was an IBM research associate in Yorktown Heights, New York. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and
