JAMES ECONOMY received his B.S. degree from Wayne State University in 1950, his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1954, and was a research associate at the University of Illinois, UrbanaChampaign, from 1954 to 1956. He held research and management positions at Allied Chemical, Carborundum Co., and IBM from 1956 to 1989. From 1989 until last year, he was head of the materials science and engineering department at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he remains as professor. During his career, Economy has carried out research on high-temperature polymers, advanced ceramics, high-performance composites, improved materials for microelectronic devices, and design ofnew material systems for control of environmental contaminants. He has published more than 200 technical papers and received 64 U.S. patents. In recognition of these scientific contributions, Economy has received a number of distinguished awards, including the POLYHerman F. Mark Award (1998), the American Institute of Chemists Chemical Pioneer Award (1987), and 14 IR100 Awards for Outstanding Technical Developments in American Industry. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, has served on numerous government committees, and was chair of POLY in 1985.
