... Prior to joining the University of Buffalo, Dr. Folks worked for 16 years in Silicon Valley in the data storage sector, with IBM Almaden Research Center, Hitachi Global Storage Tech­ nologies, and Western Digital.
From page 115...
... He has previously 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 to establish the linkages between a material's composition, synthesis/processing and its performance.

... From 1979 until 1984, Dr. Craighead was a member of the technical staff in the Device Physics Research Department at Bell Laboratories.
From page 117...
... Earles served as assistant director for nanotechnology in the White House Office of Science and Tech­ nology Policy, where he was recruited in 2007. He co-chaired the National Science and Technology Council Subcommittee for Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology, overseeing interagency coordination of the $1.8 billion National Nano­ technology Initiative and reaching out to the science and tech­ ology community n across academia, government, and industry to foster responsible devel­ pment of o nanotechnology.

... Department of Defense Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship; a Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Fellowship at Harvard University; a National Institutes of Health Director's Pioneer Award; the MRS Outstanding Young Investi­ gator Award; the National Fresenius Award from Phi Lambda Upsilon and the ACS; and a David and Lucile Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering.

... Dr. Shatkin is an environmental health scientist and recognized expert in environ­ mental science and policy, human health risk assessment, emerging contaminants policy, and environmental aspects of nanotechnology.
From page 120...
... One important example is directed self-assembly ­using diblock copolymer template patterning in combination with complementary techniques. Recent fundamental physics research includes electronic transport through bacterial pili and biofilms, microbial fuel cells, ultra-high-density mag­ netic arrays, domain-wall motion in ferromagnetic nanorings, proton transport in materials for fuel cells, superconducting single-electron devices, and charge shuttling ­phenomena.
