2007 Award Recipients

Congratulations to the 2007 Arthur S. Flemming Award recipients.

APPLIED SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS

JOHN BUTLER, Ph.D.
National Institute of Standards & Technology
For his contributions as a research chemist to the field of DNA measurement science, a core activity at the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST).  Dr. Butler is one of the world’s leading authorities in DNA-based Human Identification measurement science and technology and is the author of the definitive text used in this field throughout the world.  Among his many significant contributions in this area, the development of “short tandem repeat (STR) markers” has revolutionized the field of DNA forensic science.  The STR markers enable analysis of very small samples of degraded DNA and can be used for human identification, particularly for investigations of mass disasters (both natural and intentional) and missing persons.  This technology was used in the World Trade Center victim identification efforts following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack, and more recently has been used to aid in the identification of countless victims, including those of Hurricane Katrina and the Iraq war.

MARTIN CARLISLE, Ph.D.
United States Air Force Academy
In recognition of his outstanding and sustained achievement as a Professor of Computer Science at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.  Dr. Carlisle expertly crafted the Ada Graphical Integrated Development Environment (AdaGIDE) used for the development of computer software in the Ada programming language for U.S. Air Force programs, including the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft and since incorporated into technical curricula in more than 100 colleges and universities in 9 countries.  In addition, Dr. Carlisle integrated Ada with the Microsoft Net Framework to create the A# programming language which supports critical defense-related activities, including the B-1 bomber program at Warner Robbins Air Force Base.  Finally, to foster the teaching of computer programming and algorithmic thinking skills, Professor Carlisle created the RAPTOR visual programming language and environment that is utilized by all three major U.S. service academies as well as many other universities and colleges in the USA and 5 other countries.

CHRISTA PETERS-LIDARD, Ph.D.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center
In recognition of her innovative and important contributions and leadership as a hydrologist, physical scientist, and Branch Head in the Earth Sciences Division of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.  Dr. Peters-Lidard is internationally known for her contributions to high-resolution land surface modelling and satellite data assimilation, and particularly for the application of high-performance computing and communications technologies to this problem.  By creatively synthesizing data and models, she has improved the understanding of the water and energy exchanges that impact weather and climate.  Her highly successful and award-winning Land Information System project is revolutionizing the Nation’s hydrometeorological forecasting capabilities by effectively transitioning the latest NASA science and technology to other agencies with which she works closely, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Air Force Weather Agency.  She is an active participant in the scientific community as a journal editor and conference chair.

 

BASIC SCIENCE

ANDRE NUSSENZWEIG, Ph.D.
Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health
For the major contributions he has made throughout his career to our understanding of how the integrity of genome is maintained.  Dr. Nussenzweig, a senior investigator at NCI, has made a series of incisive discoveries in the fields of DNA repair and oncogenesis.  This has included establishing that the major non-homologous end joining pathway acts as a genomic “caretaker” that protects the cancer, determining the etiology of chromosomal translocations associated with lymphomas; discovery that a core histone, the basic unit utilized by cells to compact their genomes, can act as a tumor suppressor; and finding two complementary genome maintenance functions in DNA repair and apoptosis that prevent genetic damage from being passed from one generation to the next.  Dr. Nussenzweig’s work on the fundamental aspects of DNA damage detection and repair has important implications for our understanding of the causes of cancer and other age-related pathologies.

ERIC SHIRLEY, Ph.D.
National Institute of Standards & Technology
For fundamental theoretical advances in solid-state physics and optics.  Dr. Shirley has advanced the first-principles calculation of the electronic structure of crystalline insulators and semiconductors to allow the highly accurate prediction of their optical properties from the infra-red to the x-ray spectral region.  He has developed efficient approaches to include electron-hole effects and phonon-phonon interactions in the solution of the equations describing excited states in solids, necessary for accurate optical constant prediction in these many-electron systems.  In addition Dr. Shirley has advanced the theory of optical diffraction to allow the rapid and systematic calculation of diffraction effects in complex optical systems.  His advances have made accurate optical diffraction corrections accessible to experimental scientists developing infrared radiation standards.

TANER YILDIRIM, Ph.D.
National Institute of Standards and Technology
For his outstanding achievement as a research physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland.  Dr. Yildirim has developed a pioneering approach of combining first-principles, theoretical calculations with neutron scattering measurements to understand, identify and exploit the key properties in new and important materials.  His innovative, quantum-mechanical methodology is fundamentally altering the way that scientists attack a broad range of research problems and has provided a new paradigm for addressing critical issues in materials science.  Dr. Yildirim’s approach has already led to an understanding of the superconductivity of MgB2, a material that exhibits the highest transition temperature of any conventional superconductor.  More recently he has invented completely new ways to enhance the capacity to store hydrogen in a variety of sold-state materials including alanates, carbon nanotubes, metal-organic frameworks, and ethylene molecules.  His latest results offer the promise of surmounting what is widely considered to be the most serious obstacle in the road to the hydrogen economy.

 

MANAGERIAL OR LEGAL ACHIEVEMENT

Major TIMOTHY BODE
United States Air Force, Space Based Infrared Systems Wing
For extraordinary contributions to the federal service as Chief of Operations for the Space Based Infrared Systems Combined Task Force in Boulder, Colorado.  Major Bode exercised exceptional leadership in a wide range program acquisition, technical test, and operations functions to initiate successful operations of a unique new Air Force satellite payload.  The results provided dramatic, tangible contributions to our nation’s ability to warn and defend against threat of hostile missile attack and weapons of mass destruction.  Major Bode also displayed outstanding initiative by working with representatives of multiple federal agencies to extend the promise of this modern satellite payload to benefit civil applications across the globe.

JUDITH HAGLEY
Tax Division, Department of Justice
For her exceptional achievement as an Appellate Section Attorney with the Tax Division, Department of Justice in Washington, DC.  During her six year career with the Tax Division, Ms. Hagley has successfully argued numerous cases, established significant legal precedents and saved the Government millions of tax dollars.  Two extremely important cases among many stand out.  In successfully arguing a high-profile case, Coltec Industries, Inc. v. U.S., she persuaded the Federal Circuit to reverse a lower court decision in a closely watched "contingent liability" tax shelter case in which the taxpayer claimed a loss deduction of $378 million.  This landmark decision was consummated when the Supreme Court denied Coltec's petition for a writ of certiorari.  This case was an especially important victory for the Government because it reaffirmed the applicability of the economic-substance doctrine in abusive tax shelter cases.  Ms. Hagley also successfully briefed and argued another closely watched case, BB&T Corp. v. United States.  There, the Fourth Circuit agreed with the Government that a taxpayer was not entitled to the tax benefits from a lease/leaseback tax shelter called the LILO, holding that the Government was not bound by the labels that taxpayers placed on a transaction but could instead look to the transaction's underlying substance to determine whether the claimed tax benefits were legitimate.  This case was particularly important because many corporate taxpayers had purchased this tax shelter, claiming billions of dollars in tax benefits.  In short, Ms. Hagley is single-handedly responsible for helping turn the tide against the proliferation of abusive individual and corporate tax shelter schemes, and ensuring that every taxpayer pays his, her or its fair share of the federal tax burden.

ALISA KLEIN
Civil Division, Department of Justice
For her remarkable performance as an Appellate Staff Attorney in the Civil Division of the Department of Justice in Washington, DC.  Ms. Klein achieved extraordinary victories in some of the Department’s most important and sensitive appellate cases.  For example, in Public Citizen v. U.S. District Court she successfully defended the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, legislation designed to reduce direct federal spending by $39 billion over five years.  In addition, vital public and private interest rest on this legislation, whose titles amended a wide variety of statutes including the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Communications Act of 1934, and the Social Security Act.  Other significant statutes successfully defended by Ms. Klein include the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Controlled Substances Act, and the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act.  She has displayed an unparalleled ability to evaluate a complex legal problem, distill its essence, and present the Government’s position in so compelling a manner that its merit cannot be denied.

JANINE VELASCO
Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior
For her outstanding leadership as the Assistant Director, Human Capital Management in the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at the Department of the Interior in Washington, DC.  Ms. Velasco has led BLM’s efforts in strategic planning and budgeting, program evaluations, organizational management, and finance.  In 2006, she was selected to take on the challenges of workforce management.  Of a total BLM workforce 10,000, some 35% will be eligible for retirement within a few years.  BLM recognized the urgent need for an executive who understood the natural resource challenges and could transform the workforce.  Meeting the competing demands of the 21st century – energy development, recreation and climate change – Ms. Velasco understood that the Bureau needed to recruit and retain exceptional candidates who reflect the public they serve.  Her efforts have improved the effectiveness of leadership recruitment and development, decreased administrative burdens and built BLM’s capacity to deliver upon its mission.  

 

2006 Award Recipients

Congratulations to the 2006 Arthur S. Flemming Award recipients.

Administration and Program Management

	Major LINDA GUERRERO For her outstanding leadership as Medical Group Administrator at the 314th Medical Group at Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas. Major Guerrero’s accomplishments are clearly visible across the full spectrum of military healthcare. During the past four years of her career she has led the Air Force Tele-radiology Integrated Process Team, which set the future of radiology, developing and employing a real-time solution to mitigate a 50% shortage of radiologists with annual savings of $1.4 million. Additionally, Major Guerrero spearheaded the overhaul of 96 clinical and business staffing models; these models, based on civilian best practices, optimized 36,000 medical positions across 75 medical facilities. Under Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure, she drove the analyses which led the Medical Joint Cross Service Group to six final scenarios, recommending the largest re-structuring of Department of Defense medicine since World War II. It has been Major Guerrero’s passion, coupled with her ability to leverage the talents of others toward a common goal, which has resulted in such a high level of success.
	Lieutenant Colonel (Dr.) TAMMY SAVOIE For her highly significant accomplishments as Deputy Program Manager, Joint Medical Information Systems Office, Theater Medical Information Program (TMIP), Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Materiel Command in Falls Church, Virginia and as Chief, Biobehavioral Performance Branch in the Biosciences and Protection Division (BPD), Human Effectiveness Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, Brooks City-Base in San Antonio, Texas. While at TMIP Dr. Savoie developed a Department of Defense suite of automated medical system solutions and coordinated with multiple government contractors to support warfighters in operational theaters of conflict. She deployed to Iraq to collect patient medical information in the field and make it electronically available to medical providers anywhere a patient may be transferred; it is now deployed worldwide for use by expeditionary medical forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. She implemented robust long-term training strategies for all Services and created an intricate network of software support for the Services. Her efforts resulted in 500,000 health records from Iraq flowing to an electronic watchboard for medical surveillance. Her success at TMIP led to her by-name selection to her current position, where she continues her outstanding performance, currently championing the overall program management of science and technologies related to the Department of Defense air and space capabilities, enhancing combat survivability, extending performance, and protecting military forces. At the same time she is overseeing a major transition in the organization of BPD, directing the merger of two branches at different locations, divesting of legacy research lines and starting new ones.
	NATHAN STONG For his distinguished service as Lead Engineer, Engineering Career Development Process Improvement Team, Engineering Directorate, Ogden Air Logistics Center, Air Force Materiel Command, Hill Air Force Base in Utah. Mr. Stong has contributed exceptional leadership skills in promoting the advancement of engineering excellence through innovative team building, and through the accomplishment of unique electronic solutions. He has shown remarkable skill in mentoring and shaping the science and engineering work force at Hill Air Force Base. For instance, working with teams of upper level manager, he succeeded in developing and defining 62 clear career categories in place of hundreds of scattered, isolated and dysfunctional groups. This method is under review for implementation Air Force-wide. Mr. Stong’s professional competence, dedication, and devotion to duty have resulted in significant improvements to the United States Air Force weapons system operational availability, while reducing overall sustainment costs.
Applied Science and Mathematics
	Dr. KENT IRWIN In recognition of his unique achievements as a physicist and project leader in the Quantum Electrical Metrology Division of the Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, in particular in the invention and application of Transition-Edge Sensors to some of the world’s most difficult detector problems, which has enabled highly sensitive measurements to be made in a breadth of areas that would otherwise be impossible. Detectors based on Dr. Irwin’s innovations are being used to analyze nanoscale defects for the semi-conductor industry, to search for the dark matter that makes up 80% of the universe, and to count individual photons to improve the security of quantum communications. They provide new capabilities for the verification of international non-proliferation treaties by determining the plutonium content of spent nuclear fuel. They will be used to probe the first moments of the universe by measuring the polarization pattern that gravity waves from the big bang imprinted on the cosmic microwave background. Dr. Irwin has demonstrated sustained exceptional leadership and achievement throughout his federal career and is rated best among his peers.
	Dr. DAVID JACOBSON For his accomplishments and leadership as a physicist in the Ionizing Radiation Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Dr. Jacobson’s work has led to the development and application of cutting-edge neutron metrology techniques to address key technical barriers to the development of robust and efficient hydrogen fuel cells. His leading role in developing the world’s most advanced neutron imaging station to study water transport in fuel cells had required innovative design ideas, comprehensive and effective approaches to solving unique problems, clear and thorough understanding of the underlying principles, and excellent mathematical and computing skills. This facility is now used by most major fuel cell manufacturers and automotive companies, such as General Motors and Daimler- Chrysler, and many universities and national laboratories. Through the research done at this facility, NIST and the entire Department of Commerce are playing a crucial role in the development of alternative power sources for the future, an area of extremely high national priority.
	Dr. GREG SPANJERS In recognition of his distinguished accomplishments as Demonstration and Science Experiments Program Manager, Integrated Experiments and Evaluation Division, Space Vehicles Directorate, Air Force Materiel Command at Kirkland Air Force Base,New Mexico. In 2006 Dr. Spanjers expertly led a team of 5 government and over 200 contractor personnel developing a novel flight experiment that will investigate the harmful effects of space radiation on electronics and materials, and explore a method to reduce the lethal effects of a high-level nuclear detonation on low earth orbit satellites.When faced with a budget cut, he avoided a potential program cancellation by skillfully re-base-lining the original $120 million program into two $60 million flight experiments. Dr. Spanjers reduced the complexity of the spacecraft and thereby shrunk program risk and moved the launch date to one year earlier. The Space and Missiles System Center selected Dt. Spanjers to lead a multi-agency Technology Assessment Team to study alternate Space-based Infrared System architectures and develop a low-risk/low-cost alternative solution to the current $10 billion program.
Science
	Dr. MICHAEL MISHCHENKO In recognition of his outstanding and sustained achievements as senior scientist at the Goddard Institute in New York, a part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Dr. Mishchenko’s accomplishments have been in three major areas: aerosol and cloud remote sensing and particle characterization; radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres, oceans, and particulate surfaces; and aerosol and cloud effects on climate. He has employed his expertise to address a wide range of major scientific problems, resulting in extraordinary research productivity. Dr. Mishchenko’s ongoing contributions are leading to a deeper understanding and more precise analysis of the manifestations of climate change. He has achieved world-class stature as a renowned scientist, which serves as a model for exemplary scientific research. He is an extremely active participant in the scientific community, as a journal editor and organizer of international conferences.
	Dr. JAMES “TREY” PORTO For his exceptional achievements as supervisory physicist in the Atom Physics Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Dr. Porto has built a world-class experimental program and research team to attack the problem of quantum processing with neutral atoms. The project started in 2000 with an empty room and vague ideas and, by, 2003 he was leading the effort and had established NIST’s program in neutral atom quantum information as one of the top two in the world; it can be argued that in 2006 he has made it the premier effort. Recently Dr. Porto invented and demonstrated an optical lattice of double wells as a test bed for the elementary operations needed for a neutral atom quantum computer. This is a remarkable breakthrough that has allowed the research effort to demonstrate all the elements of a neutral atom two qubit gate and is serving as a test bed for 1- and 2-qubit operations. With it Dr. Porto has demonstrated the basic elements of quantum computation. In the process he has published several high impact papers, with three new manuscripts prepared in the first three months of 2007.
