APPENDIX B. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE OF OTHER TEAM MEMBERS

Name: Lawrence S. Goldberg

Address: National Science Foundation
4201 Wilson Blvd., Room 675
Arlington, VA 22230

Dr. Goldberg received his BS degree in engineering physics from Washington University (1961); his PhD, in solid state physics, is from Cornell University (1966). In 1966-67, he spent a postdoctoral year as research assistant at the Physikalisches Institut at the Universität Frankfurt in Germany; from 1967-1985, he was with the Naval Research Laboratory as research physicist in the Optical Sciences Division. During 1976-1977, he was on sabbatical leave at Imperial College, London, England.

His research interests have been in lasers, nonlinear optics, optical parametric devices, ultrashort pulse lasers and spectroscopy, liquid crystals, and radiation defect centers in solids. He came to the National Science Foundation in 1985 as Program Director for the Quantum Electronics, Waves, and Beams Program, in the Division of Electrical and Communications Systems, Directorate for Engineering. In the summer of 1989, he served as Acting Head of the NSF Office in Tokyo, Japan. His program responsibilities at NSF covered research areas of quantum electronics, optics, plasmas, and electromagnetics. He served also as Senior Staff Advisor and as Acting Division Director. In October 1994, he was appointed Director of the Division of Electrical and Communications Systems and served until January 1998.

Dr. Goldberg now holds the position of Senior Engineering Advisor. Dr. Goldberg serves on the federal government's Joint Management Committee for the U.S. Japan Joint Optoelectronics Project and as government representative on the Board of Directors of the Semiconductor Research Corporation. He previously was NSF representative on the Electronics Subcommittee under the National Science and Technology Council. He has helped to develop and coordinate the recent NSF multi-disciplinary initiative in Optical Science and Engineering, the NSF/DOE Partnership in Basic Plasma Science and Engineering, and the NSF Scholar-in-Residence at NIH activity.

He is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the IEEE Lasers and Electro Optics Society, and the Optical Society of America.

Name: Ronald L. Larsen

Address: DARPA/ITO
3701 N. Fairfax Dr.
Arlington, VA 22203-1714

As the Assistant Director of the Information Technology Office (ITO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Dr. Larsen manages the Intelligent Software and Systems Division. The division is responsible for research in human-computer interaction, human language systems, distributed collaboration, visualization, software engineering, information survivability, and high confidence networking and a national research program in information management, including DARPA's research in digital libraries. He is on leave from the University of Maryland, where he is the associate director of the university libraries and is an affiliate associate professor of computer science. Prior to coming to the University of Maryland, he worked for NASA for 17 years. He spent five years at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC, where he managed the agency's research in automation and computer science. Before coming to NASA Headquarters, he worked at Goddard Space Flight Center, where he programmed real-time mission support systems and conducted research in computer networking.

He holds a BS from Purdue University (electrical engineering), an MS from Catholic University (applied physics), and a PhD from the University of Maryland (computer science). His primary research interests currently focus on digital library technology.

Name: Hiroshi Morishita

Address: HMI Corporation
Matsudo Paresu 1002, 35-2 Koyama
Matsudo 271-0093, Japan.

Mr. Morishita, President, HMI Corporation, specializes in ultra-micro manipulation technology for MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems). He founded HMI Corporation in 1991 to commercialize his ultra-micro manipulator system. He extended his interest and business to the field of archaeological excavating machines and to a new robot manipulator system to help bed-ridden persons. In 1994, he became a consultant to WTEC concerning WTEC study tours in Japan. He graduated from the University of Tokyo (BA, MA, mechanical engineering), and is in the final stage of preparing his doctoral thesis. He was a visiting researcher in the Mechanical Engineering Department in 1992 and 1993, and at RCAST (Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology) of the University of Tokyo in 1994 and 1995.

Name: Robert Duane Shelton

Address: Professor of Computer Science and Engineering
Loyola College
4501 N. Charles St
Baltimore, MD 21210-2699

Robert Duane Shelton has led international technology assessments since 1984, as science policy analyst at NSF, and now as ITRI Director. His degrees are in electrical engineering from Texas Tech (MCL), MIT (as NSF Fellow), and the University of Houston. Dr. Shelton worked at Texas Instruments, Inc. on electronics R&D, and at NASA in performance analysis of the Apollo space communications system and of TDRSS- the system currently used for Space Shuttle communications. He was a professor at the University of Houston, University of Louisville, Texas Tech University and now Loyola College. During this time, he has served as principal investigator on 35 grants, has written 58 technical papers and one book, and has chaired 60 MS and 3 PhD thesis committees. He has chaired academic departments of applied mathematics, computer science, engineering science and electrical engineering. During 1995, he was an IEEE Congressional Fellow, serving as legislative assistant on science issues for Rep. Lloyd Doggett. His current research interest is science policy analysis: international technology assessment, high-technology trade problems with Japan and national strategies for engineering education.
