Artur Chmielewski
Mr. Artur B. Chmielewski is the US Rosetta Project Manager. He has managed several flight projects at JPL: the Space Technology 8 mission, Mars Telecommunication Orbiter Rendezvous Experiment, Space Technology 6 mission, Gossamer Program, Inflatable Antenna Flight Experiment and the Cryocooler Flight Experiment. He was also a Project Element Manager on Deep Space 1 mission and a power system engineer for Galileo, Ulysses and Cassini spacecraft. He was responsible for development of 9 space instruments and several new technology devices. He also managed a flagship pre-project - space radio astronomy mission ARISE. In the two years at NASA Headquarters he managed the space experiments program In-STEP. He has degrees in mechanical engineering and computer science from University of Michigan and USC.
Don N. Futaba
Don N. Futaba is the research team leader of the CNT Synthesis Team at the CNT-Application Research Center, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Tsukuba, Japan. Shortly after joining the Research Center for Advanced Carbon Materials, AIST, Japan under Prof. Sumio Iijima, he established a high efficiency synthetic method for vertically aligned single-wall carbon nanotube arrays (water-assisted CVD). For the following years, he developed scale-up technologies in collaboration with Zeon Corporation and developed applications. Currently, he is working on the development of next generation synthesis technology. He has degrees in physics from the University of California (B.A.) and the University of California, Davis (Ph.D.).
Alireza Nojeh
Alireza Nojeh received a BS and an MS from Sharif University of Technology, a DEA from the University of Paris XI-Orsay, and a PhD from Stanford University. Since 2006, he has been on the faculty of the University of British Columbia, where he is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute. He is also a Professional Engineer in British Columbia, and was a scholar in residence at the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies from 2014 to 2016. His research interests are mainly in the interactions of electrons and photons with nanostructures, electron emission phenomena, vacuum nanoelectronics, and energy conversion; he has also worked in nanomaterial synthesis, nanofabrication, solid-state electronics,
and optoelectronics. In 2016, he chaired the 29th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference.
