David A. Hoecke graduated from Cooper Union with
a B.S.M.E. He is currently president and CEO of
Enercon Systems, Inc. His expertise is in the fields of
waste combustion, pyrolysis, heat transfer CFD mod-
eling, and gas cleaning. In 1960, he began working
for Midland-Ross Corporation as a project engineer,
rising to chief engineer for incineration by 1972. In
1974, he founded his own company and has since been
responsible for the design and construction of numer-
ous combustion systems, including solid waste incin-
erators, thermal oxidizers, heat recovery systems, and
gas-to-air heat exchangers. His hands-on experience
gives him the expertise needed to participate in the
assessment of the incineration technologies employed
by the Army.
David H. Johnson graduated from Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology with a Sc.D. in nuclear engineer-
ing. He currently serves as vice president and general
manager of ABS Consulting in Irvine, California. He
has more than 20 years experience in risk-based analy-
sis for industry and government applications. He has
considerable expertise and knowledge in all facets of
probabilistic risk assessments, including probabilistic
modeling and investigation of the impacts of industrial
endeavors. His primary expertise is in risk assessment
and management.
Peter B. Lederman graduated with a Ph.D. in chemi-
cal engineering from the University of Michigan. He
recently retired as executive director, Hazardous Sub-
stance Management Research Center, and executive
director, Office of Intellectual Property, New Jersey
Institute of Technology. Dr. Lederman has over 50
years of broad experience in all facets of environmen-
tal management, control, and policy development; con-
siderable experience in hazardous substance treatment
and management; and over 18 years of experience as
an educator. He is a registered professional engineer, a
diplomate in environmental engineering, and a national

associate of the National Academies. Dr. Lederman has
also worked at the federal (EPA) and state levels, with
particular emphasis on environmental policy. His ex-
pertise is in chemical engineering, hazardous waste
treatment, and educational and corporate leadership.
John L. Margrave, a member of the National Acad-
emy of Sciences, graduated from the University of
Kansas with a B.S. in engineering physics and a Ph.D.
in physical chemistry. Dr. Margrave is currently the
chief scientific officer at the Houston Advanced Re-
search Center and the E.D. Butcher Professor of Chem-
istry at Rice University. His expertise is in high-
temperature chemistry, materials science, and environ-
mental chemistry. His research interests include vari-
ous areas of physical and inorganic chemistry, includ-
ing matrix-isolation spectroscopy/metal atom
chemistry; high-temperature chemistry, including mass
