	Dr. KJ Cho (Founder, Science Advisor) Dr. Cho is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, Material Science and Engineering at Stanford University. He is currently working on diverse nanomaterials and micro-device modeling and simulations. He is also serving as the director of the Stanford Computational Materials Science Lab and a member of the Stanford Materials Council. Previously he was research staff at the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics and Harvard University. He received a Ph.D. in Physics from MIT. Dr. John Seely Brown Dr. John Seely Brown was the Chief Scientist of Xerox Corporation and Director of the Palo Alto Research Center. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Polycom, Inc., Varian Medical Systems, and Corning Incorporated. He is a trustee of Brown University, The John D. and Catherine T. McArthur Foundation, and In-Q-Tel and serves on the Advisory Board of Forstmann Little & Co., General Motors Science Advisory Committee, and E.M. Warburg Pincus & Co., Inc. Technical Advisory Board. Dr. Brown, in addition to having received numerous awards and honors, is the author of numerous books and articles on innovation, entrepreneurship, innovative organizations, and the impacts of the information society. He received his Ph.D. in Computer and Communication Sciences from the University of Michigan. Dr. Enrique Iglesia Dr. Enrique Iglesia is Chancellor Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley and a Faculty Scientist in the E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy. In 1993, he joined the University of California at Berkeley as Professor of Chemical Engineering, after eleven years of research and management experience in heterogeneous catalysis and reaction engineering at the Corporate Research Laboratories of Exxon Research and Engineering. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Catalysis and has been recognized with some of the most prestigious awards from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (Wilhelm Award), the American Chemical Society (Olah Award), the Catalysis Society (Emmett and Burwell Awards), and the Humboldt Foundation (Senior Research Award). In 2008, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. He is the current and founding Director of the Berkeley Catalysis Center, which includes nine research groups in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. He received his undergraduate degree from Princeton (1977) and his Ph.D. from Stanford (1982), both in chemical engineering. Dr. Michael Baskes Dr. Baskes is a Technical Staff Member at Los Alamos National Laboratory (Operated for the US Department of Energy) since 1999 and technical leader of atomistic modeling of size, strain rate, dislocation structure and mobility in complex crystal structures and alloy systems. He was Manager of Material Reliability Department and held various Manger positioning at Sandia National Laboratories for 30 years. His distinguished accomplishments include development of the Embedded Atom Method (EAM), this semi-empirical atomistic method has become the standard mode of calculation for complex applications in material science and development of atomistic models to predict the behavior of helium in metals, the calculations have strongly affected research and technology in the areas of fission, fusion, and nuclear weapons materials. He was Member of the National Materials Advisory Board from 1995 to 1998. He received a Ph.D. in Material Science from California Institute of Technology. Mr. Frank Marshall Frank Marshall is a private investor to high technology companies. He is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Juniper Networks (NASDAQ -JNPR). He has been a director of PMC-Sierra (NASDAQ - PMCS) since April 1996. He served as Chairman of the board of directors of Netscreen Technologies Inc (NASDAQ -NSCN). Mr. Marshall served as interim Chief Executive Officer of Covad Communications Group from November 2000 until July 2001. He also serves on the board of directors of several private companies. Previously, he was Vice President, General Manager of Cisco Systems Inc.'s Core Products Business Unit. He is also a member of the technical advisory Board of Interwest Partners, Focus Ventures, and Sequoia Capital. He received a BSEE from Carnegie Mellon University and MSEE from University of California, Irvine. Dr. W. Keith Kennedy Jr. Dr. W. Keith Kennedy is currently serve as Chairman of the Board of directors of CNF (NYSE:CNF) and CNF is a $5.1 billion company that is a leading provider of global supply chain solutions for a wide range of manufacturing, industrial, retail, and government customers. He retired from Watkins-Johnson in 2000 after 12 years as president and Chief Executive Officer of Watkins-Johnson company. Under his leadership, Watkins-Johnson successfully made the transition from a defense-electronics company to a high-technology growth business. He has lectured at Stanford University in both the School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Business. In the spring of 2000, he was a visiting professor at U.C. Davis' Graduate School of Management. He has just completed two years as the Chair of Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network and has served on the board of that organization for over ten years. He received a Ph.D. in Engineering from Cornell University. Dr. Matthew Neurock Dr. Matthew Neurock is the Alice M. and Guy A. Wilson Professor of Engineering, Professor of Chemical Engineering, and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Virginia. He has worked in the area of computational heterogeneous catalysis for over 14 years. He has developed and applied theory and atomic scale simulation to elucidate catalytic reaction mechanisms for a wide range of different catalytic materials. His efforts have provided fundamental insights into the influence of surface structure, adlayer composition, support, alloy composition and arrangement, reaction medium and reaction conditions on catalyst performance. He is currently on the Editorial Board for the Journal of Catalysis and previously served on the Editorial Board for Catalysis Communications. Before joining the University of Virginia 1995, he worked in the Corporate Catalysis Center at the DuPont Chemical Company and at the Schuit Institute of Catalysis at the Technical University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. He received his Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering in 1992 from the University of Delaware.
