Paul Horowitz, is Professor of Physics at Harvard University, where he teaches physics and electronics. He originated Harvard's Laboratory Electronics course, now in its 25th year. His research interests include observational astrophysics, x-ray and particle microscopy, optical interferometry, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. He is the author of some 200 scientific articles and reports, has consulted widely for industry and government, and is the designer of numerous electronic and photographic instruments.

Winfield Hill, is Director of Electronic Engineering at the Rowland Institute for Science (founded by Edwin Land), where he has designed some 250 electronic instruments. Recent interests include high-voltage RF (to 15kV) and precision high-current electronics (to 6000A). He was formerly at Harvard University, where he designed over one hundred electronic and scientific instruments; he then founded Sea Data Corporation, where as chief engineer he designed some fifty oceanographic instruments. He has collaborated in numerous deep ocean experiments, and has authored a dozen scientific and technical articles.
