Biographical sketches of authors
Michael J. Slattery IBM Microelectronics Division, Burlington facility, Essex Junction, Vermont 05452 (mslatter@us.ibm.com). Mr.
Slattery graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a
B.S. degree in electrical and computer engineering. He
joined the IBM Microelectronics Division in 1990 and has
worked in VLSI failure analysis, polyimide films and via
process engineering, encryption product design, adaptive
and lossless data compression product design, arithmetic
coding for VLSI implementations, and 2D graphical
acceleration.
Joan L. Mitchell IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598
(joanm@us.ibm.com). Dr. Mitchell graduated from Stanford
University with a B.S. degree in physics in 1969.
She received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from
the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1971 and
1974, respectively, joining the Exploratory Printing
Technologies group at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research
Center immediately after completing her Ph.D. She was a
manager at the Research Center for nine years, worked for
three years in IBM Marketing, and returned to the IBM
Research Division in 1991 to work again in the Image
Technologies group. In 1994, she left for a two-year leave
of absence. During her leave, Dr. Mitchell co-authored a
book on MPEG, consulted for IBM Burlington, and was a
visiting professor at the University of Illinois for six
months. Back at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center,
she is now a Research Staff Member in the Image
Applications Department. Since 1976 Dr. Mitchell has worked
in the field of image processing and data compression. She
received IBM Outstanding Innovation Awards for
two-dimensional data compression in 1978, for
teleconferencing in 1982, for the image view facility in
1985, for resistive ribbon thermal transfer printing
technology in 1985, for speed-optimized software
implementations of image compression algorithms in 1991,
and for the Q-coder in 1991. She is a member of APS, IEEE,
Sigma Xi, and IS&T and is a co-inventor on 30 patents.
