Ram Seshadri is a professor in the Materials
Department and in the Department of Chemistry
and Biochemistry at the University of California,
Santa Barbara (UCSB). He received his BS degree
in chemistry from St. Stephens College, Delhi, in
1989, and his PhD degree in solid-state chemistry
from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, in
1995. After some years as a postdoctoral fellow in
Caen, France, and Mainz, Germany, he started a
faculty career as an assistant professor in
Bangalore in 1999, before moving to UCSB in
2002. Seshadri’s research program addresses
structure-composition-property relations in
functional inorganic materials, focusing currently
on magnetic and correlated materials, catalysts, and phosphors. Seshadri can be
reached at the Materials Department and the Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry, Materials Research Laboratory, University of California, Santa Barbara,
Stephanie L. Brock is a professor in the
Department of Chemistry at Wayne State
University. She received her BS degree in
chemistry from the University of Washington in
1990 and her PhD degree in chemistry from the
University of California, Davis, in 1995. From
1995 to 1999, she was a postdoctoral associate
at the University of Connecticut working on
nanoscale manganese oxide materials. Brock’s
research focuses on the synthesis, properties, and
applications of metal pnictide and chalcogenide
nanomaterials; the development of sol-gel
nanoparticle assembly methods and their
application to non-traditional materials; and
establishment of novel hybrid organic/inorganic nanomaterials for optoelectronic
and drug-delivery applications. Brock can be reached at the Department of
Chemistry, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA; tel. 313-577-3102; and
Arthur P. Ramirez joined the University of
California, Santa Cruz, as dean of the Baskin
School of Engineering in May 2009 from LGS,
a subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent. He earned his
BS and PhD degrees in physics at Yale University.
Ramirez spent much of his career at AT&T
Bell Laboratories, where he served as the
director of the device physics research department
before becoming leader of composite materials
and device development for LGS. His research
interests include frustrated systems, multiferroic
magnetic materials, and organic semiconduc-
tors. Ramirez can be reached at the Baskin
School of Engineering, University of California,
M.A. Subramanian is the Milton Harris Professor
of Materials Science at Oregon State University.
He received his BS and MS degrees from the
University of Madras, and his PhD degree from
the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, in
1981. Following postdoctoral research at Texas
A&M University (1982–1984), Subramanian
joined Central Research & Development at
DuPont, where he remained until his recent
appointment at Oregon State. His research
interests include designing new inorganic
solid-state functional materials for emerging
applications in electronics, solid-state energy
conversion, and other areas. Subramanian can be
reached at the Department of Chemistry, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR,
Mark E. Thompson is a professor of chemistry
and materials science at the University of
Southern California (USC). He received his BS
degree in 1980 from the University of California,
Berkeley, and his PhD degree in 1985 from the
California Institute of Technology—both in
chemistry. After two years as a postdoctoral
fellow at Oxford University, he accepted a position
as an assistant professor in the Chemistry
Department at Princeton University. Thompson
joined USC in 1995. His research program
involves the study of new materials and devices
for electroluminescence, solar energy conversion,
chemical/biological sensing, and catalysis.
Thompson can be reached at the Department of Chemistry, University of
Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089, USA; tel. 213-704-6402; and
