Dr. Wim Leemans obtained an electrical engineering/applied physics degree from the ”Vrije Universiteit Brussel”, Belgium in ’85, and the MS and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering, in ’87 and ’91 respectively, from UCLA. He received the ’92 American Physical Society Simon Ramo award for outstanding doctoral thesis research work in plasma physics. In ’91 he joined the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and is now a Senior Scientist and the Head of the LOASIS Program of the AFRD. He is also an Adjunct Professor in physics at the University of Nevada, Reno. He works on laser based advanced accelerator concepts for electrons and ions, ultra-short x-ray pulse and THz generation, the interaction of electron beams with plasmas. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and of IEEE, was Chair of the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) Panel on Advanced and Novel Accelerator from 2000-2007, the co-recipient of the 1996 Klaus Halbach Award for X-ray Instrumentation, the recipient of the 2005 USPAS Prize for Achievement in Accelerator Physics and Technology.

Dr. Eric Esarey is a Senior Scientist at LBNL and Deputy Head of the LOASIS Program, for which he leads the theory and computation effort on laser, beam and plasma interaction physics. He received his B.S. degree from the University of Michigan and his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also Fellow of the American Physical Society and Adjunct Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.
