Todd P. Coleman (S’01–M’05) received the B.S. degrees in electrical engineering (summa cum laude); as well as computer engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Michigan; Ann Arbor; in; 2000; along with the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Cambridge; 2002; and 2005. During the 2005–2006 academic year; he was a Postdoctoral Scholar at MIT’s Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Massachusetts General Hospital’s Neuroscience Statistics Research Laboratory in computational neuroscience. Since fall 2006; he has been on the faculty in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and Neuroscience Program at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. His research interests include information theory of timing channels in computer and neural systems; the intersection between statistics and information theory; and theoretical and practical advances in decentralized control and feedback information theory to design high-performance brain-machine interfaces. Dr. Coleman is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship recipient; was awarded the University of Michigan College of Engineering Hugh Rumler Senior Class Prize in 1999 and was awarded the MIT EECS Departments Morris J. Levin Award for Best Masterworks Oral Thesis Presentation in 2002. Beginning Fall 2009; Coleman has served as a co-Principle Investigator on an NSF IGERT interdisciplinary training grant for graduate students; titled Neuro-engineering: A Unified Educational Program for Systems Engineering and Neuroscience. He also has been selected to serve on the DARPA ISAT study group for a three-year term from 2009 to 2012.Sean P. Meyn (S’85–M’87–SM’95–F’02) received the B.A. degree in mathematics (summa cum laude) from the University of California; Los Angeles (UCLA); in 1982 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from McGill University; Canada; in 1987 (with Prof. P. Caines; McGill University). After a two-year Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Australian National University in Canberra; Australia; he moved to the Midwest; where he is now a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; and a Research Professor in the Coordinated Science Laboratory at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. He is coauthor with Richard Tweedie of the monograph Markov Chains and Stochastic Stability (Springer-Verlag; 1993). His new book; Control Techniques for Complex Networks (Cambridge University Press). He has held visiting positions at universities all over the world; including the Indian Institute of Science; Bangalore during 1997–1998 where he was a Fulbright Research Scholar. During his latest sabbatical during the 2006–2007 academic year; he was a visiting professor at MIT and United Technologies Research Center (UTRC). His research interests include stochastic processes; optimization; complex networks; and information theory. His is currently funded by NSF; Motorola; DARPA; and UTRC. Dr. Meyn received jointly with Tweedie the 1994 ORSA/TIMS Best Publication In Applied Probability Award. The 2009 edition is published in the Cambridge Mathematical Library;
