Julian D. Maynard, Jr. received his undergraduate degree at the University of Virginia in 1967 and his Ph.D. in physics at Princeton University in 1974. Jay joined the faculty at The Pennsylvania State University in 1977 and currently holds the title of Distinguished Professor of Physics. His acoustics research has been featured in The New York Times Science Section, and has appeared in Physics Today, Reviews of Modern Physics, New Scientist magazine, and La Recherche and Physik in Unserer Zeit. A film about his invention, Nearfield Acoustical Holography, developed with E. G. Williams, has been aired several times on the PBS television series Nova. His research is referenced in the textbook Superfluidity and Superconductivity and was cited in the 50 Years of Physics in America issue of Physics Today. Professor Maynard is a Woodrow Wilson Fellow, Alfred P. Sloan Fellow, Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and the American Physical Society, and a recipient of the Silver Medal in Physical Acoustics from the Acoustical Society of America.
Albert Migliori received a B.S. in physics in 1968 from Carnegie Mellon University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Illinois in 1970 and 1973. He is associate director of the Seaborg Institute for Actinide Science at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Dr. Migliori is co-discoverer of acoustic heat engines. He is a leading expert in the use of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy as a solid-state physics tool for which he won R&D Magazine’s R&D 100 Awards in 1991 and 1994. He has also won a Federal Laboratory Consortium Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer in 1993, and a Los Alamos National Laboratory Distinguished Performance Award in 1994. He is a fellow of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the American Physical Society, and the Acoustical Society of America. He holds 25 patents, is the author of over 200 publications, six book chapters, and one book. Recent interests include elas- ticity of Plutonium, superconductivity in pulsed magnetic fields, and state-of-the-art research and development of new measurement techniques.
