Newsletter Editors

The “Australian Society of Rheology Newsletter” was produced from circa 1983 until 1992 under the editorship of Fred Koshir and others.
From July 1998 to July 2002 Peter Uhlherr (and later Alfred Uhlherr) and Paul Grossman also produced a Newsletter.
The Newsletter was briefly resurrected — in electronic form — in 2005–2006 (two issues), under the editorship of Ivan Ivanov.

Australian branch of the British Society of Rheology

Many dedicated individuals served on the council of the Australian branch of the British Society of Rheology (the predecessor of the ASR), but unfortunately the details have been lost over time.

Some of those involved apparently included David V. Boger, Sati Bhattacharya, Paul Grossman, Andrew Halmos, Sati Bhattacharya, John Watkins, Peter H. T. Uhlherr, Kevin Hall, and Carlos Tiu.

Apologies to those whose names have been omitted. (Please contact the Webmaster to advise of amendments.)
