Cherry A. Murray, Ph.D., is the Dean of the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and John A. and Elizabeth S. Armstrong Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences. She announced via an email to the Harvard community that she will be stepping down from her post at the end of 2014, with an interim dean to be named by FAS Dean Michael Smith and a permanent dean following a formal search.[2] She was the 2009 President of the American Physical Society (APS) and Chair of the Division of Engineering and Physical Science of the National Research Council.[3][4]
Early life and education[edit]
Born in Fort Riley, Kansas, and the daughter of a diplomat, Murray lived in the United States, Japan, Pakistan, South Korea, and Indonesia as a child. Murray completed her undergraduate science degree in physics in 1973 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from where she was awarded her Ph.D. in physics in 1978. She then conducted postgraduate and post-doctoral research on ultrahigh-vacuum and surface physics, studying the surface phonons of porous vycor glass with Professor Thomas J. Greytak from 1974 to 1978. During this time, she was awarded with an IBM Graduate Fellowship from 1975 to 1977.
Murray has published more than 70 papers in peer-reviewed journals and holds two patents in near-field optical data storage and optical display technology. Her current primary research focus includes the use of light scattering, soft condensed matter, and complex fluids. Prior to her appointment at SEAS on July 1, 2009, Murray was Principal Associate Director for Science and Technology at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory[5] and previously has held numerous research and leadership positions at Bell Laboratories (the last as senior vice president for physical sciences and wireless research).[6]
A celebrated experimentalist, Murray is well known for her scientific accomplishments using light scattering, an experimental technique where photons are fired at a target of interest. Scientists can then gather insights into surface physics and photonic behavior by analyzing the spray of photons in various directions from such collisions. She is also a leader in the study of soft condensed matter and complex fluids, hybrid materials that show properties of different phases of matter. The control of suspensions, foams, and emulsions has application for the development of everything from novel drug delivery systems to "lab-on-a-chip" devices.
Murray has served on more than 80 national and international scientific advisory committees, governing boards, and National Research Council (NRC) panels. Murray has also been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. She is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the California Council on Science and Technology. In 2002, Discover Magazine named her one of the "50 Most Important Women in Science". Furthermore, in 1989 Murray won the APS's Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award for outstanding achievement by a woman physicist in the early years of her career, and in 2005, she was awarded APS's George E. Pake Prize in recognition of outstanding work combining original research accomplishments with leadership and development in industry.
On June 14, 2010, Murray was appointed by Barack Obama to the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.[7]

I ordered this product to hang in our school gym for our girls. Our volleyball team was so surprised. My only regret is that I would have ordered the larger size. It is very easy to hang. I will be ordering another one soon.

Very nice product. When my daughter saw it, she said, this is like a real banner. Sweet! It was more than a real banner. Colors popped. Metal Grommets to hang the sign. Real nice, can't say enough good about it.

I have order three personalized banners from you and have been amazed at the strong quality they have. I take alot of time adjusting and making it "just right," but your website is easier to use than others online. This particular banner shows a need for a photo, but I did not use a photo and it looked GREAT!
