Biographical sketches of authors
Robert L. Wisnieff
IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (wisnieff@us.ibm.com).
Dr. Wisnieff graduated from Tufts University in 1980 with a B.S.M.E. degree and from Yale University in 1986 with a Ph.D. degree in applied physics. He joined IBM in 1986 and worked in the research group developing amorphous-silicon-based active-matrix liquid crystal displays. He received a Corporate Award for the development of array testing of thin-film transistors. Dr. Wisnieff is currently the manager of IBM's Advanced Display Technology Laboratory. He holds four patents and has authored and co-authored 14 publications. He has given invited talks and seminars on active-matrix technology. He has held the offices of Secretary, Treasurer, Vice Chairman, and Chairman of the SID Mid-Atlantic Chapter. He has served on and chaired the SID Symposium Active-Matrix Subcommittee and has been the Seminar and Program Chair of the SID Symposium. Dr. Wisnieff is a member of the ACM, IEEE, and SID.
John J. Ritsko
IBM Research Division, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 218, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 (ritsko@us.ibm.com).
Dr. Ritsko received a Ph.D. degree in physics from Princeton University in 1974. From 1974 to 1983, he worked at the Xerox Webster Research Center, where he carried out fundamental studies of the electronic structure of organic and molecular solids using high-energy inelastic electron-scattering spectroscopy. He joined the IBM Research Division in 1983 as a Research Staff Member in the Packaging Technology Department. Dr. Ritsko subsequently managed research and development projects in multilayer ceramic packaging used in bipolar mainframe computers and multilayer thin-film wiring packaging used in CMOS mainframe and mid-range servers. From 1993 to 1999 he managed the Flat Panel Display Department, where technologies for high-resolution liquid crystal displays were developed and demonstrated. In 1999 he joined the staff of the IBM Technical Journals as Managing Editor.
