From left, Gang Chen helped organized the 1st joint meeting of DGG-ACerSGOMD
in May in Aachen, Germany, with Dr. Reinhard Conradt (Aachen
University), and Dr. Steve W. Martin (Iowa State University of Science &
Technology). Chen will chair the second conference in 2015 in Miami, Florida.
Dr. Gang Chen, Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Ohio University, can hardly picture a day in which he does not use glass.
“Glass is a very active and important research field,” he says. “It covers almost every aspect of our lives, not only in the traditional aspect of glass for buildings and decorations, but also to the more modern use of glass, ranging from computer memories to bone regeneration.”
Chen is the chair of the May 17-21, 2015, joint meeting of Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaf of the German Society of Glass Technology (DGG) and the Glass & Optical Materials Division of the American Ceramic Society (ACerSGOMD.) This conference will be the second of a two-year experiment to combine the American and German annual conferences in an effort to strengthen ties between U.S. and European glass researchers.
Presentations will explore optical and electronic materials and devices, the fundamentals of the glassy state, how glass is used in healthcare and energy, environmental aspects of glass and nuclear waste immobilization.
Dr. David Drabold, Distinguished Professor of Physics & Astronomy, organized the symposium on “Amorphous Semiconductors: Materials and Devices” with Professor Stephen Elliott of the University of Cambridge.
Chen chaired a symposium on Structural Characterization of Glasses IV.
