Obituary We are sad to report that Prof. Jack W Christian died on February 27, 2001, at his desk at Oxford, fittingly working on the almost completed second volume of the second edition of his magnum opus, “Solid State Phase Transformations. In spite of a debilitating illness that began twenty years ago, he remained an active and committed scholar. Those who were fortunate to interact with him and be his friends will remember him as deeply knowledgeable, exceedingly kind, generous with his time and ideas, and fully involved. His fortitude was amazing. Prof. Christian was an Honorary Member of MRSI, He will be dearly missed. MRSI condoles the demise of Prof Christian. |

Materials and Materials Technology are now recognized as the key areas for the development and growth of nations’ economies. In order to discuss recent advances made in science, engineering and technology of many of the newly invented solid state devices and related materials, the Materials Research Society (Singapore) is organizing the International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies (ICMAT 2001). About 1500 participants are expected to attend this conference. It will be the first time that such an important interdisciplinary conference focusing on materials and advanced technologies is being organized in Singapore. The conference will consist of 10 plenary lectures of which 5 are from Nobel Laureates and 16 symposia on materials perspectives, future research directions and education. Each symposium will have invited, oral and poster presentations. In addition, 5 public lectures are planned for the benefit of conference participants and the community at large.
The organizers of ICMAT are offering considerable incentives to Indian participants attending the conference in terms of waiver of 50% of registration fee and in addition free accommodation to student participants. It is expected that a large contingent of Indian Materials scientists would be participating in this important meeting. For further details please contact :
