JONATHAN M. SAMET ( Chair ) is a pulmonary physician and epidemiologist. He is a professor
and Flora L. Thornton Chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine of the Keck School of Medicine
of the University of Southern California (USC) and director of the USC Institute for Global Health. Dr.
Samet's research has focused on the health risks posed by inhaled pollutants. He has served on numerous
committees concerned with public health: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory
Board; committees of the National Research Council, including chairing the Committee on Biological
Effects of Ionizing Radiation VI, the Committee on Research Priorities for Airborne Particulate Matter,
and the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology; and committees of the Institute of Medicine
(IOM). He is a member of IOM and of the Committee on Science, Technology, and Law. Dr. Samet
received his MD from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.
JURRON BRADLEY joined BASF as a clean energy market manager in June 2011. In this role, he is
responsible for creating BASF's first market facing-unit for the clean energy industry. Before joining
BASF, Jurron led the consulting team at Lux Research, which provides clients with strategic advice on
technology, including nanotechnology, and market trends and themes. Before joining Lux Research, Dr.
Bradley worked at Praxair, Inc., where he designed air separation and argon recycling plants and managed
a thermodynamics laboratory. He also led research efforts to reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired
boilers and worked on the development of technology to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides from coal-
fired boilers. Dr. Bradley later joined Praxair's technology planning and strategy group in which he
played a key role in developing strategic approaches for the entire research and development
organization. Dr. Bradley received a PhD in chemical engineering from the Georgia Institute of
Technology.
SETH COE-SULLIVAN is a cofounder and chief technology officer of QD Vision. His work spans
quantum dot materials; new fabrication techniques, including thin-film deposition equipment design; and
device architectures for efficient QD-LED light emission. Dr. Coe-Sullivan has more than 20 papers and
patents pending in the fields of organic light-emitting devices, quantum dot LEDs, and nanotechnology
fabrication. He was awarded Technology Review magazine's TR35 Award in 2006 as one of the top 35
innovators under the age of 35 years. In 2007, BusinessWeek named him one of the top young
entrepreneurs under the age of 30 years, and in 2009, he was a finalist for the Mass Technology
Leadership Council's CTO of the year. Dr. Coe-Sullivan serves on Brown University's Engineering
Advisory Council. He received his PhD in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology; his thesis work on incorporating quantum dots into hybrid organic-inorganic LED structures
led to the formation of QD Vision.
