Professor Kurt Heinz Jürgen Buschow is a member of the Experimental
Physics Department of the University of Amsterdam, where he teaches
Magnetism and Magnetic Materials. He studied Physical Chemistry at
the Free University of Amsterdam, starting in 1954.After having
received his M.Sc. degree in 1960 he prepared his thesis work
dealing with “Ion-pair Formation with Polyacene Mono and Dinegative
Ions. He received his Ph.D. degree at the Free University in
1963.
In 1964 he held a research position at the Philips Research
Laboratories in Eindhoven. He was appointed Senior Scientist in
1976 and Chief Scientist in 1988. His research activities comprised
fundamental as well as applied aspects. During this period he
stayed for one year (1977) as a guest scientist at the Bell
Laboratories, Murray Hill, N.Y. In March 1994 he left the Philips
Research Laboratories, taking a position at the Van der
Waals-Zeeman Institute, University of Amsterdam and having
simultaneously a part-time professorship at the University of
Leiden.
His teaching activities are in the field of Metal Physics and
Magnetic Materials. He has published more than 1100 papers in
international scientific journals and is author of several review
papers and handbook chapters on magnetic materials, metal hydrides
and amorphous alloys. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of
Alloys and Compounds, Advisory Editor of the Journal of Magnetism
and Magnetic Materials and is also Editor of the Series Handbook
Magnetic Materials. Recently he became one of the Editors-in-Chief
of the Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology. Robert S.
Cahn received his B.S. from the University of Chicago in 1966 and
his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale University in 1970. From 1970
until 1982, he was a member of the Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science of the University of Miami and of the Mathematics
Department of Lehman College from 1983-1985. In 1986 he joined the
IBM Communications Department working on network design algorithms
and network design tools. He has also designed a number of very
large, high-speed networks for both IBM and IBM customers. He is
the author or over 20 research articles spanning his various
interests. He is adjunct professor of Computer Science at
Polytechnic University and regularly teaches about network design.
