Professor Bradley Striebig received his doctorate in environmental engineering from Pennsylvania State University. He has over 25 years of experience in designing pollution control systems and has worked to improve community resources in Benin, India, Kenya, Malta, Rwanda and throughout the United States. He has served as editor for several journals in the fields of engineering education and engineering for sustainable development. He has led award-winning funded research initiatives, the results of which have contributed to several books, journal articles and peer-reviewed conferences. Dr. Adebayo A. Ogundipe has held academic positions at Stevens Institute of Technology and the Polytechnic Institute of New York University. He earned his Ph.D from Stevens Institute of Technology. His current areas of specialization and scholarship include life-cycle analysis, industrial ecology and developing methods for assessing sustainability. Dr. Maria Papadakis is a political economist with expertise in energy management and the role of energy in sustainable development. She earned her Ph.D. from Indiana University and has 30 years of experience with technology and manufacturing, energy and sustainable production systems. Dr. Papadakis' research has been published in specialized reports of the National Science Foundation and in such journals as Evaluation and Program Planning, Journal of Technology Transfer, The Scientist and the International Journal of Technology Management. Heine earned her doctorate in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Duke University. She is one of America's leading experts in applying green chemistry, green engineering, and design for the environment for sustainable business practices. As Senior Science Advisor for Clean Production Action and as Principal for the Lauren Heine Group, she guides organizations seeking to integrate green chemistry and engineering into their product and process design and development activities - eliminating toxics and the concept of waste and moving toward economic, environmental and communict sustainability. Specific areas of expertise include the development of technical tools and strategies for identifying greener chemicals, materials, and products and facilitation of multi-stakeholder initiatives - particularly those that are technically based.
