WEIMAR TABORGA
Weimar Taborga manages the network operations team in Miami for Verizon Wireless. In that capacity he planned, designed, budgeted and managed the development of various telecommuni- cation systems. Taborga manages staff from multiple disciplines, such as engineering, implementation, construc-
tion and operations. He planned, designed and implements communications systems including voice and data networks. He also helped achieve 100% digitization of Verizon’s wireless network in Florida and helped develop wireless voice service in Bolivia. Taborga innovated a process for emergency recovery purposes in the aftermath of hurricanes.
Taborga, born in Sucre-Bolivia, studied electronic engineer- ing at the University of La Paz. He earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the Technological Institute of Aeronautic (ITA) in Sao Paulo. Brazil.
B. OSCAR OLMOS
B. Oscar Olmos is currently a pro- ject team manager at The MITRE Corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development in McLean, Virginia, where he leads joint government and industry teams in defining solutions to some of aviation’s most complex problems.
He is a system engineer and enterprise architect with over 13 years of experience developing and implementing aviation technologies and procedures that are further modernizing the world’s air traffic management system. Olmos serves as primary liaison between MITRE and the Federal Aviation Administration’s new Integration and Implementation Team, which expedites the implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).
Olmos won “Directors Awards” in 2009 and 2007 and “Pro- gram Recognition Awards” in 2006, 2005 and 1999. Olmos earned his master of science degree in systems engineering from Johns Hopkins University.
GONZALO ALVAREZ
Gonzalo Alvarez is a scientific staff member in the Computer Science and Mathematics Divi- sion at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and, jointly, the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at ORNL, which is one of just five Nanoscale Science Research Centers estab- lished by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, as user facilities for the nanoscience community. Alvarez works with the Nanomaterials Theory Institute, where he performs theore- tical and computational research in nanomaterials science for both in-house and in-user projects.
Alvarez’s work focuses on the theoretical understanding of strongly correlated electron systems in condensed matter, such as manganites, diluted magnetic semiconductors and high temperature superconducting cuprates. He also lead the development of the DCA++ code to study using the Dynamic Cluster Approximation (DCA) models of high-temperature superconductors. Alvarez and the DCA++ team recently won the most prestigious prize in high performance computing—the
Gordon Bell Prize for Peak Performance—for their petascale simulations of high-temperature superconductors.

REYNALDO NOGUERAS
Reynaldo Nogueras is the lead systems engineer responsible for defining a viable technical path for a large scale government development project at
The MITRE Corporation’s
Center for Integrated Intelligence Systems. His role is to develop a design and work-flow process that is implementable, scalable, and operational.
Nogueras also leads a complex research and studies task for another sponsor. He manages the execution of up to nine concurrently running study teams. In this role, he ensures the company’s sponsors’ needs are met and that each study delivers quality research.
VIVIANE SCHWARTZ
Viviane Schwartz is a member of the R&D Staff in Nanocatalysis Systems at the
Center for Nanophase Materials Science
(CNMS), Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Her research encompasses a series of activities with the ultimate goal of creating and sharing innovative solutions for science and technology.
Schwartz’s research has contributed important new insights into catalytic materials for oxidation chemistry, working with environmental catalysis researchers across the United States participating in the User Program at CNMS. In only six years at ORNL, Schwartz has made an impact on the next genera- tion of researchers in catalysis, mentoring three postdoctoral fellows and a number of graduate-student users in nanoscale catalysis research.
