Biographical sketches of authors
Yael Maguire
MIT Media Laboratory, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139-4307 (electronic mail: yael@media.mit.edu).
Mr. Maguire is a Ph.D. candidate at the MIT Media Laboratory. He is an IBM Student Fellow holding a master's degree in media arts and sciences from MIT. Mr. Maguire received a degree in engineering physics with Highest Honors from Queen's University in Canada. He is currently working on building a table-top device for quantum computing, which holds the promise of computing faster than traditional, semiconductor-based computers. He currently holds an NSERC fellowship from Canada and is generally interested in the fundamental ties between information processing and physics.
Edward S. Boyden III
Stanford Neurosciences Program, Beckman Center B103, Stanford, California 94305 (electronic mail: eboyden3@stanford.edu).
Mr. Boyden is a doctoral student in neurosciences at Stanford University, where he works on molecular analyses of small neural networks using genetic, electrophysiological, and optical techniques. He received his master's degree in electrical engineering and computer science, and his bachelor's degree in physics, both from MIT. He worked on many of the projects in the MIT Physics and Media Group throughout his undergraduate years.
Neil Gershenfeld
MIT Media Laboratory, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139-4307.
Dr. Gershenfeld leads the Physics and Media Group at the MIT Media Laboratory and directs the Things That Think research consortium. His laboratory investigates the relationship between the content of information and its physical representation, from developing molecular quantum computers, to smart furniture, to virtuosic musical instruments. Author of the books When Things Start to Think, The Nature of Mathematical Modeling, and The Physics of Information Technology, Dr. Gershenfeld has a B.A. degree in physics with High Honors from Swarthmore College, a Ph.D. from Cornell University, was a Junior Fellow of the Harvard University Society of Fellows, and a member of the research staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories.
