Paul Alivisatos went to the University of Chicago, where he received a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry with Honors in 1981. He attended graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked under the supervision of Charles Harris. His Ph.D. thesis concerned the photophysics of electronically excited molecules near metal and semiconductor surfaces. In 1986, he went to AT&T Bell Labs where he worked with Louis Brus as a postdoctoral, and it was at this time that he first became involved in research related to Nanotechnology. In 1988, he joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley, as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 1993 and to Professor in 1995. He was appointed Chancellor's Professor of the University of California, Berkeley for the period 1998-2001. In addition, effective January 2003 he was appointed Director of the Materials Sciences Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
He has received the Presidential Young Investigator Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation fellowship, the ACS Exxon Solid State Chemistry Fellowship, the Coblentz Award, the Wilson Prize at Harvard, Department of Energy Awards for Outstanding Scientific Accomplishment in Materials Chemistry (1994) and for Sustained Outstanding Research in Materials Chemistry (1997), and the Materials Research Society Outstanding Young Investigator Award. He is a Fellow of both the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is the Editor of the American Chemical Society journal, Nano Letters, and serves on the Editorial Advisory Boards of The Journal of Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics, the Journal of Chemical Physics, and Advanced Materials. He is a senior member of the technical staff at the Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory, where he directs the new national nanofabrication facility, "The Molecular Foundry." He has served as a member of the Defense Sciences Study Group, and on panels of the Defense Science Board and the National research council, and is currently a member of the Department of Energy Council on Materials Sciences. His research concerns the structural, thermodynamic, optical, and electrical properties of nanocrystals.
Currently, as well as being an active researcher, Paul Alivisatos continues to fulfill a leading role at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). In February 2005, he was appointed Associate Laboratory Director for Physical Sciences at LBNL.

Synergistic Activities
I am currently working on projects sponsored by the California Energy Commission on residential control systems for demand-responsive energy management. My work is in developing control architectures and strategies for autonomously responding to dynamic pricing or direct load-shed commands from the electricity supplier related to system-wide demand management. I am also working on a project sponsored by the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (original sponsor is DOE) on prognostics and diagnostics for commercial scale HVAC systems.

=====================================================================
Professor J.-Y. Chen has twenty-four years of research experience on numerical modeling of turbulent reacting flows and two years of practical engineering with Boeing aircraft company. His research topics include air pollution, supersonic combustion, reduced reaction mechanisms, soot formation, flame extinction and re-ignition. Professor Chen earned his Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in 1985 with his thesis research on modeling of turbulent reacting flows. Since then, he has worked at Sandia National Laboratories Combustion Research Facility at Livermore as a senior scientist staff member for six years. During this period, he continued and expanded his numerical modeling work in many areas of turbulent reacting flows. This research included development of realistic chemical kinetics for Probability Density Function (PDF) methods, reduced reaction mechanisms, turbulent mixing models, and models for interactions between turbulence and chemical kinetics. These model developments have been applied to studies of combustion in supersonic flows, soot formation in turbulent flows, flame extinction and re-ignition, and NOx formation in turbulent flames. Many of these topics are related to gas turbine combustion. Professor Chen joined the faculty of Mechanical Engineering Department of University of California, Berkeley, in the Fall of 1991. His current research focuses on modeling of combustion-generated pollutants in laminar and turbulent flames, catalyst combustion, multi-component droplet combustion, homogeneous charge ignition engines, and large eddy simulations of turbulent flows. Professor Chen has published some ninety research papers of various topics in combustion and fluid mechanics.

He has a bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy and served as a nuclear engineer onboard a submarine. After that, Alex worked in private industry as an applications engineer for the world’s largest hydrogen supplier (Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.). Alex received his Ph.D. in Energy Management and Policy from the University of Pennsylvania and then worked as a research fellow at Harvard, and a research engineer at Carnegie Mellon University before taking a position at UC Berkeley, where he teaches courses on energy systems and energy/environmental policy. For the last decade Alex has conducted research on energy and environmental policy and has published over two dozen peer-reviewed papers on these topics in journals such as Science, Environmental Science & Technology, and Energy Policy. A book Alex co-edited, Assessments of Regional and Global Environmental Risks was published in 2006 by RFF Press and in January 2006, a 20-author study that Alex co-directed, “Managing Greenhouse Gas Emissions In California” was released (www.calclimate.berkeley.erg).

Agricultural & Resource Economics
337 Giannini Hall
Anthony Fisher is Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has researched, taught, and consulted in the field of environmental and resource economics since 1977, and served as department Chair for the period 1999-2004. His areas of specialization have included the theory and practice of environmental resource valuation, theory of exhaustible resource extraction and exploration, energy/economy modeling, and the allocation of ground and surface water, especially under drought conditions. His current research focuses primarily on aspects of the economics of climate change.
Professor Fisher has served on the Board of Directors, as Vice President, and most recently (2003-2004) as President, of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists. He currently serves on the editorial boards of several journals in the field, and recently concluded a term on the National Science Foundation's panel for the program on global environmental change. He has in the past consulted for the World Bank, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Exxon Company.
Professor Fisher has published extensively in both general economics journals and in journals specializing in environmental and resource economics. His Resource and Environmental Economics, published by Cambridge University Press, has been widely used in graduate courses in the U.S. and abroad. His article, "Environmental Preservation, Uncertainty, and Irreversibility", in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, co-authored with Kenneth Arrow, received the 1995 award for publication of enduring quality from the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists.
Professor Fisher received an A.B. and a Ph.D. in economics, both from Columbia University.
