Dr. Mary Galvin is a Program Manager for the Materials Chemistry Program.  She received M.S. and Sc.D. degrees in Polymer Science from the Materials Science Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  After graduating from MIT, she joined Bell Laboratories where she became a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff.  In 1998, she moved to the University of Delaware as a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and became a Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering in 2004.  At Bell Labs and the University of Delaware, she established research programs on the structure/property relationships that govern the performance of organic materials in light emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, and thin film transistors.  She has co-authored many publications in this area and given numerous invited talks at national and international meetings.  In 2005, she joined Air Products where she served as the technical lead for the development of new electroactive organic products and later reported to the Chief Technical Officer in her role as the head of External Technology.  Dr. Galvin is a Fellow in the American Physical Society (APS) and has served on National Research Council panels including the Board of Chemical Science and Technology. She has been active in the Materials Research Society as a Member of the Board of Directors, a symposium organizer, a Volume Organizer for the MRS Bulletin, and as a Co-chair for the Fall 07 MRS meeting.  She has served on committees for the Polymer Physics Division of the APS and was a Technical Program Co-chair for the Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering Division of the American Chemical Society.  She has served as an editor or on the editorial boards of several journals and she was a member of the Board of Reviewers for Science in 2001.  She has also chaired two Gordon Conferences, been a Counselor for the Gordon Research Conferences, and Co-chaired three Materials Chemistry Workshops for the National Science Foundation.
