I am very pleased to communicate with you again through Structure, the newsletter of MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE). This issue brings news of recent developments in DMSE and of the accomplishments of our faculty, staff, and students. As the Head of DMSE, I have had the satisfaction of interacting with many of you as we have reshaped the intellectual and physical landscape of the Department over the past six years. With our major initiatives now coming to a successful conclusion, I feel ready to transition to the next phase with a stronger focus on some new research initiatives and exciting new global research alliances. I am pleased to note that Professor Ned Thomas will succeed me as Head of DMSE effective January 2006. Ned and I are working closely together to ensure a smooth transition to the next leadership team of the Department.

The major new initiatives we launched over the past sever-

=

al years are now bearing fruit. The physical infrastructure of DMSE is significantly improved with thriving new laboratories for multi-disciplinary research and for undergraduate teaching in one of the most visible locations of the Institute: the Infinite Corridor. A number of additional laboratory facilities for research into new and emerging research areas have been built in the past four years in conjunction with the recruitment of highly talented young faculty colleagues. The final phase of the major space renovation project involving a “space swap” with the Physics Department is well underway. The newly renovated DMSE Headquarters and the new Chipman Room are expected to be ready for occupation by the end of 2006.

The final phase of DMSE’s new undergraduate curriculum was introduced in Fall 2005. This curriculum has strengthened and invigorated our core educational activities. The success of the new curriculum is clearly evident from the enthusiastic response of our undergraduate students to the new subjects and laboratories, and from the significant increase in our undergraduate enrollment.

A particular note of gratitude goes to Professor Sam Allen for his extraordinary service as Executive Officer of DMSE, to Robin Elices for her outstanding leadership role as Administrative Officer, and to Kenneth Greene for all his hard work as my administrative assistant in DMSE headquarters. It has been an enormous privilege to lead this truly outstanding department. I look forward to continued interactions with you in the years

During his many decades of service as a DMSE faculty member, he supervised the theses of 93 doctoral students, 51 Master’s students and 74 undergraduate students.

Noteworthy among his many awards and honors was his election to the National Academy of Engineering.

Institute Professor Emeritus Morris Cohen, who was a key figure in reshaping DMSE and the field of materials science and engineering during much of the twentieth century, passed away in May 2005. The Department held a memorial service in November at MIT, in conjunction with the

Among those contributing to the publication commemorating this event was Dr. John Cahn, a former DMSE faculty member who is now a Senior Fellow at NIST. Dr. Hillert’s thesis advisor was Prof. Morris Cohen.

Morris’ doctoral thesis on “Aging Phenomena in SilverCopper Alloys” was carried out under the noted metal physicist, Prof. John T. Norton. His early work focused on improving the strength and toughness of metals and was soon connected to the war effort. During World War II, as

Cohen served as ASM President and was awarded ASM's Howe Medal in 1945 and 1949. In addition to his leadership in metals research, Morris acted as a major leader in the new field of materials science and engineering, serving as the cochair of the National Academy COSMAT Study (Committee on the Survey of Materials Science and Engineering), “Materials and Man’s Needs.” This report, known as the “Cohen Report,” influenced national policy on materials education and research.

Fred joined MIT as a technician and became Project Machinist in the Ceramics Processing Laboratory in 1971. In 1987, he was promoted to a sponsored research staff position as Laboratory Supervisor of the Ceramics and Glass Laboratories. Fred also assisted DMSE in space management and in implementation of department safety examinations in the years preceding his retirement.

Dr. Kim was accompanied by five members of the Hanyang University administration and faculty. During the visit, the Hanyang Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory, located in the DMSE Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory, was dedicated and the Hanyang University–MIT Department of Materials Science and Engineering Educational and Outreach Program was formally established. We are grateful for Hanyang’s support and look forward to many years of friendship and research interactions.

The Electrochemical Society (ECS) has begun a campaign to endow an ECS Summer Fellowship in honor of Herbert H. Uhlig. This fellowship will provide $5,000 of support to an exceptional graduate student during the summer months in the pursuit of work in a field of interest to ECS. ECS has awarded over 250 summer fellowships since 1930.

Herbert H. Uhlig

Herbert H. Uhlig CM ‘32 Ph.D. was ECS president from 1955-56. He was active in society affairs since

1937, including serving as Vice President in 1952 and helping to found the current Corrosion and Theoretical (now Physical Electrochemistry) Divisions. He authored many papers, was the editor of The Journal of The Electrochemical Society, and edited the very well regarded Corrosion Handbook. Dr. Uhlig received numerous Society awards and honors: the Palladium Medal Award in 1961, Honorary

Membership

in

1973,

the

Outstanding

Achievement Award of the Corrosion Division in 1985, and the Edward Goodrich Acheson Award in 1988.

Over the years, Professor Uhlig taught, inspired, and graduated more than 100 M.S. students, over 20 Ph.D. students, and an equal number of post-graduate fellows. He and his students published 175 papers.

Spearheading the Fellowship campaign are Aziz Asphahani, Ronald Latanision (emeritus, HM 2002), Florian Mansfeld, and Winston Revie ’72 Ph.D., and his wife Greta. ECS hopes to award the first Fellowship in Spring 2006.

Please contact Troy Miller at troy.miller@electrochem.org with questions about this campaign or to make a donation.

Professor Uhlig had great wisdom and knowledge and was always willing to share this with students and his colleagues in industry, government and academia. He was a man of integrity who worked hard, was tenacious and was always willing to help others.

In memory of our dear friend Morris Cohen, DMSE will launch a campaign to establish a graduate student fellowship. Such fellowships allow students to concentrate on education and to broaden their research horizons, thus enabling them to make a more informed choice about their thesis topic. The Department guarantees support for all first-year graduate students, though that support must take the form of Teaching or Research Assistantships in some cases. More information about the Cohen Fellowship will be available in the coming year.
