Professor Sangtae Kim
Dr. Sangtae “Sang” Kim is the inaugural Donald W. Feddersen Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at Purdue. The Feddersen Distinguished Professorship is supported by a substantial endowment targeting emerging opportunities at the interface of engineering and information technologies. Sang’s recently completed eight-year voyage beyond the ivory tower spanned both the public (NSF Division Director at the launch of the Cyberinfrastructure Division) and private (VP level positions heading R&D IT in the pharmaceutical industry at the inflection point of the genomic revolution) sectors. During 1983-97, Sang was a faculty member in Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he engaged in mathematical and computational methods for microhydrodynamics (now more commonly known as microfluidics). His computational insights into “hydrodynamic steering” played an influential role in 1994-95 in the development of fluidic self assembly (FSA), the novel process employed today for manufacturing of low-cost RFID (radio frequency) tags. Sang is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineers. His research citations include the 1993 Allan P. Colburn Award of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the 1992 Award for Initiatives in Research from the National Academy of Sciences and a Presidential Young Investigator award from NSF in 1985. His 1991 treatise, Microhydrodynamics, is considered a classic in that field and was recently selected by Dover Publications for its reprint series. A native of Seoul, but a product of the “K-11” public schools of Montreal, Sang received concurrent BSc and MSc degrees (1979) from Caltech and a PhD (1983) from Princeton.

Professor Kelvin H. Lee, Ph.D
Dr. Lee is the Samuel C. and Nancy M. Fleming Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology and Associate Professor in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He also serves as Director of the Cornell Institute for Biotechnology and Life Science Technologies and Director of the New York State Center for Life Science Enterprise. His expertise lies in Core Proteomics technology and mathematical modeling of cellular processes. Dr. Lee was post-doctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology and the Institute of Biotechnology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Dr. Lee has received the National Science Foundation Career Award, the Dreyfus Foundation Teacher-Scholar Award and has been named MIT Technology Review's Top 100 Innovators in Business and Technology as well as a Distinguished Professor by New York State Office of Science, Technology, and Academic Research. Dr. Lee received his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology.

Stuart Marson, Ph.D
Dr. Marson is the founder and CEO of Future Sight Inc. which provides consulting services for the implementation of innovative technological solutions for scientific research and the analysis of corporate formation requirements. After an NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship at UC Berkeley, he co-founded Molecular Design Limited (MDL) in 1978. Acting as its Chairman, President and CEO, Dr. Marson helped this start-up grow into the world’s largest supplier of software for handling chemical information. In September, 1987, MDL was acquired by Maxwell Communication Corporation (MCC), went public in July of 1993 and was acquired by Elsevier Science in April, 1997. In late 1987, Dr. Marson assumed the position of Executive VP of Scientific Innovation at MCC West, reporting to Kevin Maxwell, and was given the Skolnik Award from the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Information Division for his contributions in the field of chemical information. Along with Dr. Alejandro Zaffaroni, Dr. Marson co-founded AXS in September 1989 and Digital Collections, Inc. in May of 1993, which merged to form Digital Arts & Sciences Corporation (DAS). Acting, at various times, as its Chairman, President and CEO, Dr. Marson helped DAS become a leading supplier of collections management software and now maintains a position on its Board of Directors. Dr. Marson received a B.S. and S.M. in Chemistry from MIT and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Stanford University.
