BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS
GLENN T. SINCERBOX received the B.S. degree in physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1959 and the M.S. degree in physics from the University of Illinois in 1960. He continued graduate studies at the University of Illinois until 1962, when he joined IBM. He has been a member of the research staff at IBM's Almaden Research Center since 1972, where he has held several technical and managerial positions, including group manager of holographic optics, department manager of exploratory I/O studies, department manager of inspection science and technology, and department manager of optical storage heads. He is currently program manager of holographic storage systems and technology. His primary research contributions have been in the areas of holography, novel recording processes, and optical devices, with emphasis on their application to information storage, display, scanning, printing, and inspection. He has published and presented over 60 papers, 3 book chapters, holds 39 patents, and over 65 patent publications. He is the recipient of 15 IBM invention achievement awards and an IBM Outstanding Innovation Award. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and has served on numerous society and conference committees. He was a member of the 1985-1987 NMAB studies on currency and counterfeiting.
STEVEN ANDRIOLE is Director of the Center for Multidisciplinary Information systems Engineering at Drexel University, where he is also professor of information studies and electrical and computer engineering. He was formerly the Director of ARPA's Cybernetic Technology Office and Chairman of the Department of Information Systems and Systems Engineering at George Mason University. He is also founder of International Information Systems, Inc. He received his Master and Ph.D degrees from the University of Maryland.
NORBERT S. BAER received his M.S. and Ph.D. from New York University in chemistry and environmental science. His research interests include the application of physicochemical methods to the examination and preservation of artistic and historical works. His professional activities include serving as editor and board member of various publications and authoring many technical works. In 1980 he chaired the National Materials Advisory Board Committee on Conservation of Historic Stone Buildings and Monuments, and since 1980 has chaired the National Archives Advisory Committee on Preservation. He is currently at New York University.
DONALD BAUDER received his B.S. from the University of Colorado in mechanical engineering. He retired from Sandia National Laboratory, where he spent more than 30 years. His expertise is in systems analysis and systems design. He was the originator of the Random Label Counterfeit Deterrence System for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing as a method to deter counterfeiting.
MITCHELL J. FEIGENBAUM received his B.S.E.E at City College of New York and his Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in theoretical physics. He played a pivotal role in developing the field of fractals and chaos as applied to understanding non-linear systems. His research is on the discovery of metrically universal behaviors in dynamical systems. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. He is currently at Rockefeller University.
JOSEPH GAYNOR received his B.Ch.E. from Polytechnic Institute Brooklyn (now Polytechnic University) and a Ph.D. from Case Institute of Technology (now Case-Western Reserve University). His technical interests and expertise include areas such as imaging materials and processes, non-impact printing technologies, optical memory materials and processes, chemical processes, photochemistry (especially applications), and polymeric films and coatings. He was a member of the former NMAB committees (1984-1987) concerned with U.S. currency. He is President of Innovative Technologies Associates in Ventura, California.
STEVEN M. GEORGE received his B.S. in chemistry at Yale and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. His research interests are in understanding and evaluating surface effects. He is currently at the University of Colorado.
ANNETTE B. JAFFE received her B.A. in chemistry at Douglas College, her Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Yale University. Her postdoctoral work was at the University of Rochester. She is currently the principal scientist of hardcopy technology in the Imaging Products Division of Apple Computer, where she is responsible for the evaluation and recommendation of technologies appropriate for future products in printers, scanners, and imaging test tools.
MICHAEL MORRIS received his B.S. at the University of Oklahoma in engineering physics and his M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology. He is an expert in diffractive optics and opto-electronic systems design. He is currently at the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester.
KURT NASSAU received his B.S. from Bristol University and his Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh (both in physical chemistry). His research is in the growth of crystals and their physical and chemical properties; solid state and crystal chemistry and physics; crystallography; and laser, magnetic, piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and vitreous materials. He was with AT&T Bell Labs for 30 years before retiring as a distinguished scientist. He now does some consulting work.
ROBERT R. SHANNON received his B.S. and M.A. from the University of Rochester. He is an expert in applied optics and is well known for his practical approach to problems. He has both academic and industrial experience. For the past twenty-five years he has been a Professor at the University of Arizona, and, is a past director of the Optical Sciences Center. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and is currently Professor Emeritus at the University of Arizona.
RODNEY SHAW received his B.S. from Leeds University and his Ph.D. from Cambridge University, both in physics. He has both academic and industrial experience in advanced imaging concepts and applications. Currently, he is on an extended professional leave from Rochester Institute of Technology and consults in electronic imaging and digital printing.
