Springer Handbook of Glass

J. David Musgraves obtained a BA degree in Physics at Pomona College, followed by his PhD in Materials Science from the University of Arizona.  Following a stint as a postdoc and then Research Professor at Clemson University, he founded IRradiance Glass in 2013. When IRradiance Glass was acquired by Rochester Precision Optics in 2018, he became Chief Scientist there.  He is a Jack of All Trades, and Master of None.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.
