Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST)
National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST)
Robert Celotta is the Director of the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Prior to that, he was a NIST Fellow and Leader of the Electron Physics Group. His most recent research activities included nanomagnetics, magnetic imaging, the use of scanning tunneling microscopy for nanostructure characterization and assembly, the optical control of free atoms, and the generation, detection, and application of free electron polarization to measurement. Dr. Celotta received his B.S. in physics from the City College of New York and his Ph.D. in physics from New York University. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow at JILA in Boulder Colorado with Dr. John Hall. Dr. Celotta has received the Gaede-Langmuir Prize of the AVS, the William P. Slichter and the Edward Uhler Condon Awards of the NIST, two IR-100 Awards, a Gold and a Sliver Medal from the US Department of Commerce, and the Presidential Distinguished Rank Award. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Vacuum Society.

Advanced Electrochemical Materials
Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)
Rolison received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1980 and immediately joined the Naval Research Laboratory as a staff scientist; she currently heads the Advanced Electrochemical Materials section and is also an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at the University of Utah. Her research at the NRL focuses on multifunctional nanoarchitectures for catalytic chemistries, energy storage and conversion, biomolecular composites, porous magnets, and sensors. She is a Fellow of AAAS and of AWIS. Rolison writes and lectures widely on issues affecting women in science. In 2000, she proposed using Title IX, which prohibits discrimination in any educational "program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance", to evaluate academic Science & Engineering departments. Her strategy was echoed in the 2004 General Accountability Office report Women's Participation in the Sciences Has Increased, but Agencies Need to Do More to Ensure Compliance with Title IX

Millard Alexander Professor of Chemistry
University of Maryland
Dr. Fourkas received his BS and MS in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology and his PhD from Stanford University. He was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin and MIT before joining the faculty of Boston College in 1994. He moved to University of Maryland in 2005, where he is Millard Alexander Professor of Chemistry. His research focuses on applications of nonlinear optics in chemistry, physics, materials science and nanotechnology, on topics ranging from dynamics of liquids in nanoconfinement and at interfaces to develop of nanoparticle-based luminescent probes to laser fabrication of functional micro- and nanostructures. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Optical Society of America.

Associate Professor Aerospace Engineering
Affiliate Professor, Fischell Department of Bioengineering
University of Maryland
Dr. Benjamin Shapiro received his bachelors degree from the Aerospace
Engineering department at Georgia Tech, and his PhD from the Control and
Dynamical Systems option at Caltech. He has been at the university of
Maryland for 6 years. His research is focused on modeling, design, and
control of micro-scale systems for chemical, biological, and now clinical
applications. His primary appointment is in the Aerospace Engineering
department, he has a joint appointment with the Bio-Engineering
department, the Institute for Systems Research, the Nano-center, and is
affiliated with the Applied Math and Scientific Computation program. He
is the recipient of a 2003 NSF CAREER award, has filed 9 patents (two of
which were awarded 1st and 3rd places as inventions of the year at
Maryland), and was recently voted into the Council of Outstanding Young
Engineering Alumni for Georgia Tech. He was born in Jerusalem, Israel in
1973.
