Urbana-Champaign. His research concerns thermal
storage, district heating and cooling, indoor air quality,
building energy modeling and analysis, and applica-
tion of thermal sciences to buildings.
R. John Collier is a professor of microbiology and
molecular genetics at Harvard University. His research
is currently focusing on diphtheria and anthrax toxins,
applying genetic, biochemical, and biophysical
methods to generate detailed models of each step in
toxin action. He received the Eli Lilly Award in Micro-
biology and Immunology in 1972, the Paul Ehrlich
Prize in 1990, and the Selman Waksman Award in
26
1999. Dr. Collier is a member of the National Acad-
emy of Sciences.
David A. Edwards is a professor of biomedical engi-
neering at Harvard University. He obtained his Ph.D.
in chemical engineering in 1987 and has since taught
and performed research at the Technion (Israel), MIT,
Penn State, and Harvard. His research is in aerosol drug
delivery systems. He is the coauthor of two textbooks
on advanced transport analysis and numerous scien-
tific papers. He is a member of the National Academy
of Engineering and the American Institute of Medical
and Biological Engineering.

cies. Dr. Haber' s current interest is in the use of mecha-
nistic data in risk assessment and methods for extend-
ing dose-response curves to low doses. She has also
done risk assessments using benchmark modeling and
categorical regression, and published papers on the use
of those approaches in risk assessment. Dr. Haber is
also a member of the NRC panel on low-level expo-
sures to chemical warfare agents.
Sangtae Kim is the vice-president and information
officer of Lilly Research Laboratories, a division of Eli
Lilly and Company. The departments reporting to
Dr. Kim are responsible for the many facets of infor-
mation technology in pharmaceutical R&D, including
information technologies that drive discovery research,
preclinical development, clinical research, regulatory
affairs, and product teams. He joined Lilly in 2000
from a similar position at Parke-Davis Pharmaceutical
Research, a division of Warner-Lambert Company.
From 1983 to 1997 Dr. Kim was a faculty member in
the Department of Chemical Engineering at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, including a term as
department chair. His research interests include fluid
mechanics, rheology, suspensions, protein dynamics,
applied mathematics, and parallel computing. Dr. Kim
is a member of the National Academy of Engineering
and a past member of the Board on Chemical Sciences
and Technology.
Charles E. Kolb is the president of Aerodyne
Research, Inc. His research interests include the chem-
istry and physics of trace atmospheric species and the
chemical kinetics and spectroscopy of combustion.
Dr. Kolb has served on a variety of NRC committees,
some of which deal directly with chemical and biologi-
cal agents.
Ellen Raber is the department head for environmental
protection at the Lawrence Livermore National Labo-
ratory. In this role she is responsible for both opera-
tional and applied R&D efforts in pollution prevention,
27
waste management, environmental restoration and en-
vironmental monitoring and analysis. Her research area
has been in applied geochemistry, and she has authored
numerous publications in this area. She has been ac-
tively involved in environmental applications for inter-
national CBW treaty verification and nuclear safe-
guards to include chemical and biological warfare
agent detection and decontamination and related envi-
ronmental issues.
William S. Rees, ,lr., is a professor of chemistry and
biochemistry at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
He received his bachelor's degree from Texas Tech
University and his Ph.D. from the University of
California at Los Angeles. Professor Rees's research
interests are in the synthesis and characterization of
inorganic and organometallic compounds for use in the
preparation of electronic materials. He has served on a
number of committees dealing with issues of national
defense.
Richard G. Sextro is a physicist in the Indoor Envi-
ronmental Program at Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory. He received his bachelor's degree from
Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie
Mellon University) and his Ph.D. from the University
