In the past, she was chair of the TMS Young Leaders Committee, which offers professional development opportunities for early-career materials scientists and engineers. Gray, a Laboratory Fellow, is a member of the National Materials Advisory Board of the U.S. National Academies. At the Laboratory, he has served as team leader of the dynamic materials properties section, where he promoted dynamic structure/property research on materials within the Department of Energy. Brosha to serve in Electrochemical SocietyEric Brosha of Sensors and Electrochemical Devices was elected secretary/treasurer of the Sensor Division of the Electrochemical Society. His duties will include maintaining records of division meetings and related correspondence in addition to overseeing Sensor Division finances. Brosha earned his bachelor's degree in physics from Rider College in New Jersey. He was awarded an Ashton Fellowship from the University of Pennsylvania and received his doctorate in materials engineering. Detter joins ALA board of directorsJohn "Chris" Detter recently joined the board of directors of the Association for Laboratory Automaton, a multi-disciplinary, nonprofit scientific society spanning diverse industries and technology sectors. Detter is group leader for Genome Science and the center director of the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute at Los Alamos. He also is the lead developer for high-throughput viral sequencing for the High-Throughput Laboratory Network, a joint project of the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Laboratory. In addition, Detter is a member of the American Society of Microbiology. Cieslak named new MST Division leaderWendy Cieslak is the new Materials Science and Technology Division leader. Before joining the Laboratory, Cieslak was deputy to the vice president for Science, Technology, and Engineering at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque and led Sandia's Laboratory Directed R&D Program, the University Partnerships program, and operations of the ST&E Strategic Management Unit. She earned bachelor's and doctorate degrees in materials engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A graduate Hertz Fellow, Cieslak was named to the Hertz Foundation board of directors in October 2008. She is a Fellow of ASM, International. She currently serves on advisory boards for the College of Engineering at Rensselaer, and the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of California, Davis.
