Corporate Fellows

Since 2001, Mike Simpson has been a group leader for the Nanofabrication Research Laboratory and theme leader in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences. His research focus includes noise biology, nano-enabled synthetic biology and controlled synthesis and directed assembly of carbon nanostructures.

Jerry is recognized for distinguished research on the genetic basis of tree growth and development, including leading the international efforts to sequence, assemble, and annotate the genomes of poplar and eucalyptus bioenergy feedstocks.

For far-reaching accomplishments on national security issues relating to nuclear weapons proliferation, security of nuclear materials, and counterterrorism.

For contributions to the methodology for electronic structure calculations and in applications to diverse classes of materials.

For his leadership in light-water reactor development, reactor safety, and the disposition of uranium waste.

For contributions to high-performance networking and multiple-sensor fusion and for developing a unifying theory of information fusion.

For studies of the electronic structure of molecules, computational chemistry, and high-performance algorithms and computing.

For developments in biomedical engineering and biotechnology, micromechanical devices, and nanoscale imaging and detection.

Greenbaum, the winner of the 1995 DOE Biological and Chemical Technologies Research Award, has done extensive experimental work in photosynthesis, the process by which green plants grow, and its application to renewable energy production.

For significant and fundamental achievements in laser-based chemical measurement techniques, such as single molecule detection in liquids, and pioneering the efforts in the development of microfabricated chemical instrumentation, including the laboratory on a chip concept.
