|
James
Larimer
for his distinction in both basic and applied vision science, with many years of fundamental
scientific and technical contributions to these disciplines.
James Larimer began his academic career as a professor of psychology at Temple University and served as department chairperson. On leave from Temple, he ran the sensory physiology and perception program at the National Science Foundation and represented the life sciences on the NSF Super Computer Initiative. He joined NASA’s Ames Research Center in 1987 as chief scientist in an Army/NASA joint program on the computational modeling of human performance. He left NASA in 2006.
At NASA Ames, funded by DARPA, Dr. Larimer lead an interdisciplinary team in the development of a CAD tool for the design and manufacturing of flat panel displays. The human vision model, developed collaboratively with the Sarnoff Corporation, won an Emmy for technical achievement. Many US companies have used this CAD tool.
Dr. Larimer’s early research explored mechanisms of chromatic adaptation in the human visual system. After joining NASA, his research became more applied and concerned with display image quality. Many of the applied projects were designed to derive material parameters for an actual display device and to test the validity of the computational model of human vision. The vision model predicted quantitative measures of perceptually salient image artifacts unique to the display and was used to drive trade-offs in electronic display’s design.
Dr. Larimer is a member of AAAS, IEEE, IS&T, OSA, SID, SMPTE, and SPIE. He has been an SID director and vice president. Dr. Larimer is an associate editor of the Journal of the Society of Information Display and has published many articles in scientific and technical journals.

Michael H. Lee
significant contributions in providing insights into the physics of toner adhesion, as well as single component and two component development systems.
Michael H. Lee received his BS with highest honors in engineering physics from the University of California at Berkeley (1971) and his MS (1972) and PhD (1974) in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At Illinois, he studied III-V semiconductor lasers under Nick Holonyak, Jr.
Dr. Lee joined IBM Research in 1975 and worked initially in multiple areas including UHV thin-film deposition, magnetic and optical recording materials, LCD displays, and corrosion. Beginning in 1983, He focused mainly on electrophotography.
Early on he tackled one of the most vexing questions of the day, whether toner adhesion is dominated by electrostatic or van der Waals forces, and proved implicitly by SEM that it is electrostatics. This was followed by a model of two-component insulative magnetic brush development, which challenged the basic assumption of the generally accepted one, and a model of conductive magnetic brush development based on toner flying off the carrier bead, a concept widely accepted now, but hardly on the radar then. He moved on to magnetic brush cleaning and then into more proprietary areas.
Since 1994, Dr. Lee has been with HP Labs, where he now a principal scientist involved mostly in the HP Indigo LEP process. He regained the spotlight recently with the HP Indigo 7000 Digital Press unveiled at Drupa08. Dr. Lee is acknowledged as the prime contributor to some key inventions for the critical charge-roller charging system introduced in the press, including the technique to extend the charge roller life by many times.
Dr. Lee is a member of IS&T and the American Physical Society. He has served on three NIP conference committees including the position of NIP15 general chair. He has been an associate editor of the Journal of Imaging Science and Technology since 2001.

Giordano
Berretta
for commitment and encouragement to young researchers pursuing careers in imaging science.
Giordano Beretta received his doctorate in computer science from ETH Zürich in 1984 and joined Xerox PARC that year. His research included color visualization algorithms for VLSI layout, a color management system, and a suite of color selection tools that allowed non-experts to design color palettes of high aesthetic quality. In 1990, he moved to Canon, where he was involved mainly in strategic planning and intellectual property management, while exercising his technical skills as Canon’s technical advisor for color. Under the motto “quality color for the masses” he was instrumental for Canon’s venture in low-cost color bubble jet printing, color scanning, and digital video.
Since 1994, Dr. Beretta has been at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories where he contributed to many projects, mostly related to color imaging or printing. He currently tweaks printer drivers for the GPU-RIP Print Services project. His skills as a speculative designer translated into a number of patents and articles in numerical mathematics, human-computer interaction, computational geometry, design automation tools, color science, and image communication and encoding.
Dr. Beretta has taught short courses on color imaging and MPEG-21, and given numerous presentations in Austria, Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland, and the US.
A strong believer in the social role of synergy and emergent properties, Dr. Beretta is a tireless promoter of young scientists and engineers, helping them in their first professional steps. He has organized successful sessions and conferences on color imaging, and was general symposium co-chair of the Electronic Imaging Symposium in 2000 and and 2004.
Recently Dr. Beretta has fulfilled leadership roles and participated in governance bodies for governmental entities and professional societies in Italy, Japan, Switzerland, and the US. In these bodies, he has promoted scientific excellence in areas of major strategic importance for the future of research, the economy, and society. He has devoted particular attention to ethical behavior and the advancement of women in research.

Weidong
Lai
Born in Fengning, China, Weidong Lai received his BS (2001) and MS (2004) from Hebei University under the supervision of Prof. Xiaowei Li. His research focused on the photoelectron dynamic in laser exposed Silver Halide (AgX) microcrystals, especially the dye-sensitized AgX emulsion.
Mr. Lai is now working on his PhD under the direction of Prof. Li, and has devoted himself to synthesize UV-irradiation responding microcapsules as the information recording cells. Based on his efforts, the core-shell structured microcapsules of sub-micrometer size have been prepared, in which the photopolymerization process is detected. With the thermal sensitive dye-precursor interfused, the optical-thermal sensitive image function is achieved in the microcapsule cells, though the image density variance of 0.4 before and after UV exposure does not satisfy Mr. Lai, who wants to heighten the photopolymerization degree in the microcapsules.
As a student, Mr. Lai has an excellent academic record, as husband and father, he loves his wife and little daughter. For pleasure, Mr. Lai practices kung fu, the symbol of China, and reads the fiction of Charles Dickens; David Copperfield is his favor work. The maxim he works and lives by is a quote from Marie Curie: One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.
