Key Features
Dr. Arun K. Varshneya [photo] is Professor Emeritus of Glass Science and Engineering at Alfred University. Prior to joining the faculty at Alfred’s New York State College of Ceramics in 1982, he worked as a senior scientist for Ford and General Electric Lighting Business Group. Arun is currently president of Saxon Glass Technologies Inc. which specializes in strengthening glass for various industries. He is the invited author of the "Industrial Glass" entry in Encyclopedia Britannica and has more than 160 technical publications covering a broad range of topics in glass. Arun is a Distinguished Life Member of the American Ceramics Society, an Honorary Fellow of the Society of Glass Technology, and a recipient of the President’s Award from the International Commission on Glass for lifetime achievements. Varshneya earned a B.Sc. from Agra University in India, a B.Sc. with Honors in glass technology from the University of Sheffield (U.K.), and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in materials science, both from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
Dr. John C. Mauro [photo] is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. John earned a B.S. in Glass Engineering Science (2001), B.A. in Computer Science (2001), and Ph.D. in Glass Science (2006), all from Alfred University. He joined Corning Incorporated in 1999 and served in multiple roles there, including Senior Research Manager of the Glass Research department. John is the inventor or co-inventor of several new glass compositions for Corning, including Corning Gorilla® Glass products. John joined the faculty at Penn State in 2017 and is currently a world-recognized expert in fundamental and applied glass science, statistical mechanics, computational and condensed matter physics, thermodynamics, and the topology of disordered networks. John is the author of over 220 peer-reviewed publications and is Editor of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. John is winner of numerous international awards and is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society.
About the Cover Art
The cover shows the first 200-inch mirror disk cast by men and women at Corning Glass Works in March 1934 under the direction of George V. McCauley. The roughly 20 tons of glass is a Pyrex®-type sodium borosilicate (see Table 1-1 for composition). This first casting cracked in a few places during cooling and is displayed at the Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York. Viewers can see the ethereal beauty of glass even with the cracks. The second casting was successful and is mounted at the Hale Telescope Observatory, Palomar Mountain, California, and has been functional since 1948. The very precise mirror geometry allows us to see the heavens "beyond the stars." To the authors, the effort represents glass science and technology at its best in the quest for humankind’s greater understanding of itself.
