William Stanchina

Willian “Bill” Stanchina received his B.S.from the University of Notre Dame and his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, both in Electrical Engineering. He then worked at HRL Laboratories (formerly Hughes Research Laboratories) for more than 20 years during which he became the Director of the Microelectronics Laboratory. There, he was directly involved in research, development, as well as low volume production. He also holds a patent. He finally joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Pittsburgh in 2005 as Professor and served as Department Chair for ten years.

Lillian Chong

Lillian Chong received her B.S. in Chemistry from MIT and went on to pursue a Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of California San Francisco. She is now an associate professor of Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh and holds a secondary appointment in Computational & Systems Biology. She is also involved in two joint CMU-Pitt programs, one in Computational Biology and the other in Molecular Biophysics/Structural Biology. She has won several awards, among which the NSF-CAREER award in 2009 and the very select Chinese American Chemical Society Scholar award during her undergraduate studies.

Raúl Hernández Sánchez

Raúl Hernández Sánchez was born in Chihuahua, México. He received a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the Department of Chemistry at ITESM Campus Monterrey in 2005 working under the direction of Prof. Jesús Angel Valencia. He then moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts to pursue a Ph.D. in Chemistry at Harvard under the mentorship of Prof. Ted Betley. After completing his thesis, he then moved to Columbia University as a Columbia Nano Initiative Postdoctoral Fellow to work under the supervision of Prof. Colin Nuckolls. At the University of Pittsburgh, his group's research interests lie at the interface between inorganic and materials chemistry.
