Grant T. Gullberg

Grant T. Gullberg received his B.S. degree in mathematics from Seattle Pacific University in 1966, M.S. degree in mathematics from the University of Washington in 1971, and Ph.D. degree in biophysics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1979. He worked as an Engineer at the Boeing Company from 1967 to 1971, as a Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory from 1972 to 1980, as a Senior Physicist at GE Medical Systems from 1980 to 1985, and as an Assistant, an Associate, and a Professor of Radiology at the University of Utah from 1985 to 2002. He is currently a Senior Staff Scientist at the E. O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
His research interests involve the study of inverse problems with application to medicine and biology that involve the use of positron and single photon emission computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, acoustic imaging, and magnetocardiography. Currently he is involved in the the development of more accurate solutions for the emission tomographic problem by improving models of the image detection process, the solution of tensor tomography problems in acoustic elasticity imaging and in magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging, the development of physiological kinetic models for dynamic SPECT applications, the study of the relationship between cardiac function and cardiac deformation using gated SPECT and cine MRI, and the solution of electromagnetic inverse problems from MCG data.
He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and has served on the NPSS Nuclear Medical Sciences Technical Committee, as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, and as Program Chairman for the 1999 IEEE Medical Imaging Conference.

Glenn F. Knoll

Glenn F. Knoll is Professor Emeritus of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at The University of Michigan, and remains active on a part-time research appointment in the same department. Following his undergraduate education at Case Institute of Technology, he earned a Master’s degree from Stanford University and a doctorate in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Michigan. He joined the Michigan faculty in 1962, and served as Chairman of the Department of Nuclear Engineering from 1979 to 1990, and as Interim Dean of the College of Engineering in 1995-96. His research interests have centered on radiation measurements, nuclear instrumentation, and radiation imaging. He is author or co-author of over 200 technical publications, 7 patents, and 2 textbooks.
He has been elected a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society (ANS), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. He has been chosen to receive three national awards given annually by professional societies: the 1979 Glenn Murphy Award of the American Society for Engineering Education, the 1991 Arthur Holly Compton Award of ANS, and the 1996 Annual Merit Award of the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) of IEEE. He a receiving editor of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Part A, and past member of the editorial boards for Nuclear Science and Engineering and IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging. In 1999 he was inducted to membership in the National Academy of Engineering. In 2000 he received the highest annual faculty recognition from the College of Engineering of the University of Michigan, the Stephen E. Attwood Award. He has served as consultant to 25 industrial and governmental organizations in technical areas related to radiation measurements, and is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Michigan.
His prior services to IEEE/NPSS have included Chair of the Technical Committee on Nuclear Medical Science (in its early days), Steering Committee representative to Transactions on Medical Imaging (as this publication was first being established), Guest Editor of the NSS issue of Transactions on Nuclear Science, NPSS Editor-in-Chief, and Chair of the Radiation Instrumentation Technical Committee.

Patrick G. O'Shea

Patrick G. O’Shea is Director of the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics at the University of Maryland, and a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Maryland in 1986. His early research was at Los Alamos National Laboratory (1986-94) on particle accelerator projects: the Beam Experiment Aboard Rocket Project (launched first RF accelerator into space); and later as the Project Leader of the APEX Free-Electron Laser Project where he lead the construction of the first photoinjector driven ultraviolet FEL. Later he worked at the Duke University (1994-98), where he supervised the construction of the 300-MeV linac at the Duke FEL Laboratory. Prof. O’Shea’s current research is in the area of space charge dominated beam physics, FELs and applications.
He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a Senior member of the IEEE.
