his residency, received a master’s degree in medical informatics and health science administration from the University of Utah. His research is in care management, coordination of care, collaborative care, chronic disease management, quality, and the requirements of clinical information systems to support these areas. He has broadened into clinical information needs, electronic health record deployment, and health information exchange as ways to expand systems-based approaches to health care.

Riley Duren is the chief systems engineer for the Earth Science and Technology Directorate and a principal staff member at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. From 2002 until 2009, he served as the chief engineer for NASA’s Kepler mission, which launched in March 2009 and is conducting a 3.5 year mission to search for habitable planets around other stars. His current focus is applying systems engineering techniques to the challenge of climate change and in this capacity, is leading an interagency effort to define the policy–relevant needs and a design for a global greenhouse gas observing system to support climate treaties, cap-and-trade programs, and adaptation planning.
Claire Gmachl is a professor of electrical engineering at Princeton University. She received a Ph.D. from the Technical University of Vienna in 1995. Her research group is working on the development of new quantum devices, especially lasers, and their optimization for systems applications ranging from sensors to optical communications. Their special focus is on Quantum Cascade (QC) lasers, a novel type of semiconductor injection laser based on electronic intersubband transitions in the conduction band of a coupled quantum well heterostructure.

Carla Gomes is director of the Institute for Computational Sustainability and associate professor with joint appointments in Computer Science, Information Science, and Applied Economics and Management. She obtained a Ph.D. in computer science in the area of artificial intelligence and operations research from the University of Edinburgh. Her central research themes are the integration of concepts from mathematical programming, constraint programming, and algorithm theory for large-scale combinatorial problems; the study of the impact of structure on problem hardness; and the use of randomization techniques to improve the performance of exact (complete) search methods.

Mike Krames is chief technology officer at Soraa, Inc. in Goleta, California. Previous positions have included director, Advanced Laboratories at Philips Lumileds Lighting Co., and engineering scientist and hardware design engineer in the Optoelectronics Division at Agilent Technologies. He received a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in electrical and computer engineering.
Vinothan Manoharan is an assistant professor of physics and chemical engineering at Harvard University. He received a Ph.D. in 2004 from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research explores light scattering, optical microscopy, spectroscopy, synthesis and other experimental techniques to understand the physics of self-organization. For most of these experiments, his lab uses colloids, suspensions of particles typically about a micrometer in size. They seek to understand how very simple systems of micro- or nano-particles can assemble themselves into ordered structures. By doing so, they might be able to control the process in order to build new kinds of optical materials and photonic devices, and more generally, figure out the physical ‘rules’ for making nanoscale materials through self-assembly.
