John Norton received his B.E. in Chemical Engineering from the New South Wales (N.S.W.) in Sydney, Australia. After working for two years as a technologist at the Shell Oil Refinery, he switched fields and pursued and obtained his Ph.D. in the History and Philosophy of Science also at the University of N.S.W. After a brief  postdoc at the the Einstein Papers Project in Princeton, he joined the University of Pittsburgh as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science in 1984 and stayed in the Center for Philosophy of Science ever since.

Paul Leu

Paul W. Leu received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rice University. He then received both his M.S. and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. He subsequently worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at U.C. Berkeley as a member of the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center and with a joint appointment in the Materials Division Center of Lawrence Berkeley. He finally joined the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Pittsburgh in 2010. Over the course of his career, he won several scholarships and awards, including the NSF CAREER award recently in 2016.

Jeremy Levy

Jeremy Levy received his B.A. in Physics from Harvard University and his Ph.D. also in Physics from UC Santa Barbara. After a postdoctoral position there, he joined the University of Pittsburgh in 1996, and is now a Distinguished Professor of Condensed Matter Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He is Director of the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute, the Center for Oxide-Semiconductor Materials for Quantum Computation, a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) on Quantum Preservation, Simulation and Transfer in Oxide Nanostructures, a NSF Nanoelectronics for 2020 and Beyond program, and a Class of 2015 National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellow (NSSEFF).
