BRAD DECECCO,
originally from
Massachusetts, shot
the photos for
"Engineering the
Harvard Engineer" [p. 46]. "The
clean rooms in the new Harvard
engineering building were really
awesome visually," he says. "The
only bad moment was being stopped
by campus police for driving the
wrong way in Harvard Yard."

PRACHI PATELPREDD writes about
science, technology,
and the environment.
She's covered both
the advantages and the risks of
nanotechnology, so she was a perfect
fit for reporting the slow-to-arrive
breakthrough examined in "CarbonNanotube Wiring Gets Real" [p. 14].
Patel-Predd is also frequently heard
on Spectrum Radio.

GREG MABLY, who
illustrated "SolarCell Squabble"
[p. 36], draws
inspiration from
such sources as nature, typography,
mid-20th-century design, and
psychedelia. His bold, whimsical
designs have been used on wrapping paper, greeting cards, and
posters. This is Mably's first feature
assignment for IEEE Spectrum.
BOB O'CONNOR
photographed
towering shelves of
mothballed electronic components at
Rochester Electronics for "Trapped
on Technology's Trailing Edge"
[p. 42]. He shoots architecture and
environments with an eye toward
conveying a sense of scale. A selfprofessed neat freak, he enjoyed
the cleanliness and organization of
the warehouse.

PETER
SANDBORN is a
University of
Maryland professor
of mechanical
engineering. In "Trapped on
Technology's Trailing Edge" [p. 42],
he explores the dark side of Moore's
Law, where technological change
translates into nightmares, not
opportunities. "Every time I have to
buy more memory for my PC to run
a new version of software, the impact
of technology obsolescence hits
home," Sandborn says.

PAuL WALLICH
likes machines to do
things his way, and if
he can't build them
himself, he'll make
over a store-bought model. "It's what
I've done for every computer I've
owned since my first Kaypro," he
says. Read about his latest such foray
in "Hacking the Nokia N800" [p. 25].
CORINNA Wu
interviewed Don
McMillan, an
electrical engineer-
turned-comedian, for
Careers [p. 23]. McMillan is perhaps
the only comic around who uses
PowerPoint in his routine. For Tools
& Toys last month, Wu wrote about
the GigaPan, a robotic photographer
that weaves successive shots into a
single panoramic view.

PETER FAIRLEY
frequently writes
about energy for
IEEE Spectrum. In
"Solar-Cell Squabble"
[p. 36], he covers an ongoing
controversy among organic
photovoltaic researchers. After
interviewing people on all sides,
Fairley concluded that "discerning
the real progress happening in solar
power from the hype ain't easy."
