Congratulations to Dave Barnett on this award for a wonderful career pioneering at the boundary between materials science and mechanics.  Your scholarship and creativity have set an example.  Your work on anisotropic elasticity and piezoelectricity has been an inspiration for many of us.  This special occasion also brought back the happy memory of working with you.  Our joint paper only recorded a very small part what I have learned from you.

Your teaching has led me to other topics of electromechanical interactions, such as ferroelectrics, electromigration, and dielectric elastomers.
