Sokrates T. Pantelides is presently the McMinn Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN. He joined Vanderbilt University as the McMinn Professor of Physics after 20 years at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, where he served as a research staff member, manager, senior manager, and program director. He has held a concurrent appointment as Distinguished Guest Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Stefan Zollner is currently the Section Manager for Wireless Technology Analysis at Motorola in Mesa, AZ and an adjunct Professor of Physics at Arizona State University. He joined Motorola in 1997 after five years as Assistant Professor of Physics at Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory in Ames, Iowa.
