forest ecology from Yale University.
James E. Hutchison
is the Lokey-Harrington Professor of Chemistry at the
University of Oregon. He is the founding director of the Oregon Nanoscience
and Microtechnologies Institute's Safer Nanomaterials and Nanomanufacturing
Initiative, a virtual center that unites 30 principal investigators in the Northwest
around the goals of designing greener nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing.
Dr. Hutchison's research focuses on molecular-level design and synthesis of
functional surface coatings and nanomaterials for a wide array of applications in
which the design of new processes and materials draws heavily on the principles
of green chemistry. He has received several awards and honors including the
Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship and the National Science Foundation Ca-
reer Award. He was a member of the National Research Council Committee on
Grand Challenges for Sustainability in the Chemistry Industry and he is cur-
rently a member of the Committee to Develop a Research Strategy for Environ-
mental, Health, and Safety Aspects of Engineered Nanomaterials. Dr. Hutchison
received a PhD in organic chemistry from Stanford University.
Jonathan I. Levy
is a professor of environmental health at the Boston Univer-
sity School of Public Health. Dr. Levy's research centers on air pollution expo-
sure assessment and health risk assessment, with a focus on urban environments
and issues of heterogeneity and equity. Major research topics include evaluating
spatial patterns of air pollution in complex urban terrain, developing methods to
quantify the magnitude and distribution of health benefits associated with emis-
sions controls for motor vehicles and power plants, using systems science ap-
proaches to evaluate the influence of indoor environmental exposures on pediat-
ric asthma in low-income housing, and developing methods for community-
based cumulative risk assessment that includes chemical and non-chemical
stressors.
Dr. Levy was the recipient of the Health Effects Institute Walter A.
Rosenblith New Investigator Award in 2005. He has been a member of several
National Research Council committees, including the Committee on Health Im-
pact Assessment and the Committee on Improving Risk Analysis Approaches
Used by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Dr. Levy earned his ScD in
environmental science and risk management from the Harvard School of Public
Health.
David E. Liddle
joined US Venture Partners as a general partner in 2000 after
retiring as president and chief executive officer of Interval Research Corpora-
tion, a laboratory and new-business incubator in Silicon Valley, California. He
has spent his career in developing technologies for interaction and communica-
tion between people and computers in activities spanning research, develop-
ment, management, and entrepreneurship. Before cofounding Interval, Dr. Lid-
dle founded Metaphor Computer Systems in 1982 and served as its president
and chief executive officer. The company was acquired by IBM in 1991, and Dr.
