Springer Handbook of Glass
Description
Juejun (JJ) Hu is currently the Merton C. Flemings Career Development Associate Professor at MIT's Materials Science and Engineering. He holds a PhD degree (2009) from MIT and a B.S. degree (2004) from Tsinghua University, China, both in Materials Science and Engineering. Prior to joining MIT, Hu was an Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware from 2010 to 2014. His research focuses on glass materials for integrated optics and photonics.
Laurent Calvez graduated in Solid StateChemsitry and Materials Engineering and holds a PhD degree (2006) from the University of Rennes. After a post-doctoral at the University of Arizona he joined the Institute of Chemical Sciences in Rennes, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He is an expert in the field of chalcogenide glasses and glass-ceramics.
Reviews / Votes
"A comprehensive handbook covering all the facets of this unique, fascinating material. The Springer Handbook of Glass includes more than fifty chapters each written by specialists in their respective fields. I hope that the outstanding efforts of this group of young editors will gain the recognition they deserve." (Jacques Lucas, Honorary Director of the Glass and Ceramic Laboratory of the University of Rennes, Member of the French Academy of Sciences)More details
