group for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences regarding the future of the Superfund
Basic Research Program. He is the chair of a standing Committee on Emerging Science for
Environmental Health Decisions of the National Research Council. In 2002, Dr. Farland was recognized
by the Society for Risk Analysis with the Outstanding Risk Practitioner Award, and in 2005, he was
named a fellow of the society. In 2006, he received a Presidential Rank Award for his service as a federal
senior executive. In 2007, he was elected a fellow of the Academy of Toxicological Sciences. Dr. Farland
received his PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles in cell biology and biochemistry.
MARTIN FRITTS
is an emeritus researcher at SAIC-Frederick, Frederick National Laboratory for
Cancer Research (FNLCR), and a research associate in the Materials Measurement Laboratory at the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Dr. Fritts supported SAIC-Frederick in
implementing the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Nanotechnology Plan and the establishment of the
Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory at the FNLCR, and he works with NIST in their programs
in nanotechnology, informatics, and the Materials Genome Initiative. His primary interests are in the
development of advanced imaging and measurement instrumentation, modeling, and simulation to
elucidate structure-activity relationships of nanomaterials in biologic environments, and informatics
systems to aid in improving data quality and advance knowledge-sharing. Dr. Fritts also serves as the
cochair of the American Society for Testing and Materials' E56.02 Subcommittee on Nanotechnology
Characterization, and is a member of American National Standards Institute's US Technical Advisory
Group for ISO/TC 229, Nanotechnologies. Before joining SAIC-Frederick, he developed and prototyped
nanotechnology applications for industry and government through SAIC's Nanotechnology Initiatives
Division. His previous experience includes work in computational physics with the Naval Research
Laboratory and with SAIC on computational fluid dynamics, simulation-based design, ship design, and
nuclear fusion. His work has emphasized collaboration in science and its translation to applications in
industry, academia, and government. Dr. Fritts earned a PhD in nuclear physics from Yale University.
PHILIP K. HOPKE
is the Bayard D. Clarkson Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemical
and Biomolecular Engineering and the Department of Chemistry of Clarkson University. He is also
director of the university's Center for the Environment and its Center for Air Resources Engineering and
Sciences. His research interests are related primarily to particles in the air, including particle formation,
sampling and analysis, composition, and origin. His current projects are related to receptor modeling,
ambient monitoring, and nucleation. Dr. Hopke has been elected to membership in the International
Statistics Institute and is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is also
a fellow of the American Association for Aerosol Research, in which he has served in various roles,
including president, vice president, and member of the board of directors. Dr. Hopke is a member of the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the International Society of Exposure Science, and the
International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate, and others. He has served as a member of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Advisory Council on Clean Air Act Compliance Analysis and as a
member of several National Research Council committees, most recently the Committee on Energy
Futures and Air Pollution in Urban China and the United States, the Committee on Research Priorities for
Airborne Particulate Matter, and the Committee on Air Quality Management in the United States. Dr.
Hopke received his PhD in chemistry from Princeton 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 for 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. Dr. Hutchison received several awards and honors, including
the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship and the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. He was
