John Lincoln received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 2000, and his master’s degree in materials science and engineering from the University of California, Irvine in 2004. Lincoln has worked for the past eight years formulating and developing fire-retarded composite materials and adhesives for aerospace and electronics industries and is presently a Ph.D. student at the University of California, Irvine where he works with the Industrial Ecology Group. His research interests include hazardous material replacement and mobility reduction in consumer electronics and the development of renewable-resource composites for printed wiring boards and other applications. 

Andrew A. Shapiro is a principal engineer and division lead technologist for the Enterprise Engineering Division of the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). He has been working in microelectronic interconnects for 25 years and is currently implementing new electronic, RF, and optical technologies onto space missions and performing research on long-life spacecraft missions and evolutionary design for reliability techniques. He is also the NASA-wide program manager for Ultra-Reliability. He earned his B.S. in chemical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, his M.S. in materials science at University of California, Los Angeles, and his Ph.D. in materials science at the University of California, Irvine. He has served on several national committees including NEMI optoelectronics roadmap, ECTC optoelectronics, and IMAPS education. Shapiro is also currently assistant adjunct professor in Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine and is performing research in environmentally friendly manufacturing of electronics and optical and high-frequency packaging.

Jean-Daniel Saphores is an associate professor in civil and environmental engineering at the University of California Irvine, with courtesy appointments in economics and in planning policy and design. Saphores specializes in environmental and natural resource economics. He holds a Ph.D. in agricultural economics, with a specialization in natural resources and environmental economics, and an M.A. in economics, both from Cornell University. In addition, he has a civil engineering degree from Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (Paris, France), an M.S. in geotechnical engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and an M.S. in environmental systems from Cornell University. His main research interests include real options, economic instruments to manage waste, the management of renewable resources under uncertainty, the management of stock pollutants, and industrial ecology.

Julie M. Schoenung is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of California, Davis. Schoenung received her graduate degrees (M.S. and Ph.D) in materials engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her bachelor’s degree in ceramic engineering from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Schoenung has many years of experience in studying the materials selection process for a variety of material classifications, including electronic, ceramic, composite, and polymeric materials, and a variety of applications, including electronic, automotive, aerospace, and consumer products. Her research focuses on the analysis of factors that lead the materials selection decision-making process, such as economics, environmental impact, cost-performance trade-offs, and market potential. Schoenung uses both computer modeling and management theory in her approach to understanding these decision factors.

Oladele Ogunseitan is professor of public health and professor of social ecology at the University of California, Irvine. Ogunseitan’s research is focused on the linkage between environmental quality and health effects of industrial pollutants including the toxic metals lead and mercury. His laboratory also works on the use of phylogenetically conserved indices for monitoring chemical bioavailability in the environment. His research is supported by grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation. His Ph.D. in microbiology was from the Center for Environmental Biotechnology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His M.P.H. in environmental health science was earned from the University of California, Berkeley. He was a global environmental assessment fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

Tak Hur is a professor at the Innovative Environmental Technology Center, Department of Materials Chemistry & Engineering School of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Konkuk University in South Korea. He earned his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Lehigh University, Pennsylvania, working on damping and fatigue behavior of polyurethane networks. He also has a master’s degree in polymer science and engineering, and a bachelor’s degree in industrial chemistry, both from Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea. He is currently head of Korean Delegates for ISO/TC207. In addition, he served on the International Advisory Board for The International Conference on Green Purchasing, Japan, and he is a member of the Board of External Advisory Committee for Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, Korea.
