    Trevor Page
    Emeritus Prof., FREng
    (Newcastle University, England)

    Our keynote speaker for 4 June is Emeritus Prof. Trevor Page (FREng) of the School of Chemical Engineering & Advanced Materials, Newcastle University. A former Head of Materials Engineering & Metallurgy at Newcastle, he was also the University Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and External Affairs from 2000 to 2008 and currently holds the Cookson Group Chair of Materials Engineering.

    Prof. Page's ongoing research focuses on measuring and understanding the mechanical properties of very small volumes of materials, especially thin-coated systems, via nanoindentation and high-resolution microscopy techniques. He has published extensively, is regularly invited to speak at conferences in Europe and the United States, was the first non-US Chairman of the Gordon Conference on Tribology (2004), has given many presentations to schools, and has broadcast for BBC Radio 4 and the World Service.
       
    Drs. Warren Oliver &
    George Pharr
    (University of Tennessee-Knoxville, USA)    		 Dr. Warren Oliver's and Dr. George Pharr's seminal paper "An improved technique for determining hardness and elastic modulus using load and displacement sensing indentation experiments" (Journal of Materials Research) is the most frequently cited paper in MRS for mechanical properties of materials, having recently surpassed 5,000 citations.
       
    Dr. Graham Cross
    (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland)    		 Dr. Graham Cross is a principal investigator and lecturer at the Center for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN) in Trinity College Dublin. In 2002, he joined the nanomechanics group at the college's SFI Nanoscience Laboratory. His research interests include confined and large strain deformation behavior of materials at the nanoscale; production of nanodevices by mechanical forming; contact and transport at single asperities and structured interfaces; and point probe methods and instrumentation, including nanoindentation, atomic force microscopy, and field ion microscopy.
    Prof. Dr. T.W. Clyne
    (University of
    Cambridge, England)    		 Prof. Dr. T.W. Clyne is director of the Gordon Laboratory in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, and currently holds the post of Professor of Mechanics of Materials. Research interests within the Composites and Coatings group headed by Prof. Dr. Clyne include thermal spray and plasma electrolytic oxide coatings, metallic fiber network materials, micro-mechanical characterization of various materials and structures, and magneto-mechanical actuation for bone growth stimulation.
