and manipulate brain activity at the molecular level. He studied neuroscience at Brown and
received his Ph.D. in biological engineering from MIT as a Hertz and Soros Fellow. Working
with Alan Jasanoff and Robert Langer, Shapiro created the first-ever functional MRI sensors for
neurotransmitters. He was also a cofounder of Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, whose
BrainGate technology allowed paralyzed people to control external devices directly with their
thoughts. As a venture principal at Third Rock Ventures, an $800 million life sciences venture
capital firm, Shapiro helped launch companies focused on novel treatments for chronic pain,
cancer, and other diseases. In 2010 he was recognized by the Technology Review as one of the
world’s top 35 innovators under age 35.
George W. Sutton (NAE) is a consultant. He received his B.M.E (with honors) in mechanical
engineering from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in mechanics and physics (magna cum laude)
from Caltech. He made the first measurements of the stresses in a solid caused by cavitation. He
also was the first to measure the heat transfer rate in the throat of a rocket nozzle at Caltech’s Jet
Propulsion Laboratory. At G.E., he invented the first successful heat protection material for
hypersonic reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere. It was an active material – as it was heated during
reentry the gases driven off it reduced the heat transfer to the surface. It, and its variants, have
been used on all reentry vehicles and satellite film recovery vehicles, including today’s. At the
Avco-Everett Research Laboratory he helped develop high-power lasers. For its commercial
electron-beam ionized, electrically pumped closed cycle carbon dioxide laser, his contribution
was the heat-conducting foil for the electron beam. He also developed the prototype of the
electrical transcutaneous energy transfer device, using ferrites, for artificial hearts that has FDA
approval for 5,000 transplants. His work on ballistic missile defense included cooled windows,
uncooled optical dome and window thermal radiance, stresses, and optical distortions. This
included analysis of deformable mirrors to correct aero-optical distortions. He also analyzed the
boresight distortion of optical seekers on interceptors due to bending of the vehicle airframe when
the divert motors fire. He has written over 100 papers and coauthored three books. He is a
member of the National Academy of Engineering and has served on six studies. He was editor-in-
chief of the AIAA Journal for almost 30 years, which he performed in addition to working full
time. He is an Honorary Fellow of the AIAA and has received medals and awards for his work.
Elias Towe is currently a professor of electrical and computer engineering, and the Albert and
Ethel Grobstein Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
He was educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he received the
bachelor of science, master of science, and the Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science. Dr. Towe was a Vinton Hayes Fellow at MIT. After leaving
MIT he became a professor of electrical and computer engineering, and engineering physics at
the University of Virginia. He also served as a program manager in the Microsystems Technology
Office at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) while he was a professor at
the University of Virginia. In 2001, he joined the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University. Towe is
a recipient of several awards and honors that include the National Science Foundation Young
Investigator Award, the Young Faculty Teaching Award, and the Outstanding Achievement from
the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), the Optical Society of America (OSA), the American Physical Society (APS),
and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Haydn N. Wadley is a university professor and Edgar Starke Professor of Materials Science and
Engineering at the University of Virginia. He joined the department of materials science and
engineering in October 1988. He has very broad interests in materials science. His current
research explores high-temperature thermal protection systems (thermal barrier coatings, liquid
metal heat plates for hypersonic vehicle leading edges) and new materials for the mitigation of

high-intensity dynamic loads. He has addressed many fundamental questions associated with the
atomic assembly of nanoscopic materials from the vapor phase, the topological structuring of
cellular materials, and the processing of high-performance composites. These fundamental studies
have been used to develop models and numerical simulations that expose the linkages between a
material’s composition/synthesis and its performance. Some of these models have been coupled
with in-situ (ultrasonic and electromagnetic) sensors and nonlinear, feedback control algorithms
to implement intelligent process control concepts. He has invented and commercialized several
vapor deposition technologies that enable the growth of novel thin films and coatings, and
developed numerous multifunctional cellular materials including those that support stress while
also serving as impact energy absorbers, heat exchange media, electro-chemical power storage
systems, or shape morphing structures. Dr. Wadley has spent many years helping the Department
of Defense to identify new technology development opportunities in areas as diverse as the
exploitation of space and humanitarian relief operations. Haydn Wadley received his bachelor’s
degree in chemical physics and his PhD in physics from the University of Reading (UK). Prior to
joining the University of Virginia in 1988 he was a senior scientist at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology and a leader of its advanced sensors group. He began his research
career at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (Harwell), where he worked on the origins
of acoustic emission in materials and radiation damage mechanisms in refractory metals. He has
published 411 papers, co-authored a book on cellular materials, holds 18 U.S. patents, and is a
fellow of the American Society for Materials and the recipient of several awards.
