N1 - Funding Information: Alexandra Navrotsky was educated at the University of Chicago (BS, MS, and PhD degrees in physical chemistry). After postdoctoral work in Germany and at The Pennsylvania State University, she joined the faculty in chemistry at Arizona State University, where she remained until her move to the Department of Geological and Geophysical Sciences at Princeton University. On July 1, 1997, she assumes a professorship at the University of California at Davis. Navrotsky's research interests have centered on relating microscopic features of structure and bonding to macroscopic thermodynamic behavior in minerals, ceramics, and other complex materials. The main focus of her laboratory work is high-temperature reaction calorimetry. She has published over 200 scientific papers. Honors include an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, a Mineralogical Society of America Award, and an American Geophysical Union fellowship. She has served as president and vice-president of the Mineralogical Society of America (1991-1992). She spent five years as the editor of Physics and Chemistry of Minerals, and serves on numerous advisory committees and panels in both government and academe. She holds the Albert G. Blanke, Jr., Professorship in Geological and Geophysical Sciences and is a member of the Princeton Materials Institute. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1993. In 1995 she received the Ross Coffin Purdy Award from the American Ceramic Society and was awarded the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa from Uppsala University, Sweden. Navrotsky can be reached at the Department of Geosciences, Princeton University, Guyot Hall, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA; phone 609-258-4674; fax 609-258-1274; e-mail alex@geo.princeton.edu. After July 1, 1997, she will be at the following address: Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of California—Davis, Davis, CA 95616, USA . 05 1997 22 5 35 41 Copyright © Materials Research Society 1997 1997 Materials Research Society
