Ta-Shing Chu, B.S., 1955, National Taiwan University; M.S., 1957,
Ph.D., 1960, Ohio State University; Bell Telephone Laboratories,
1963 — . He has worked in the field of electromagnetics with emphasis
on surface waves and microwave antennas. At present he is working on
optical and infrared wave propagation through the atmosphere. Mem-
ber, IEEE, American Physical Society, Sigma Xi, and Pi Mu Epsilon.

Harold S. Edwards, B.S.E.E., 1925, Yale University; The Southern
New England Telephone Company, 1925-1946; American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, 1946—. At the Southern New England Tele-
phone Company he was concerned with various assignments in the Plant
and Engineering Departments. At the present time he is Plant Facilities
Design Engineer, with responsibilities for the design of the outside plant
subscriber network as well as methods and administration of the outside
plant engineering job.

Walter J. C. Grant, A.B., 1951, M.A., 1952, Boston College; B.S.,
1958, Ph.D., 1962, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories, 1962 — . He has been engaged in theoretical study
of paramagnetic and electro-optic solid-state devices. Member, American
Physical Society and Sigma Xi.

Henry Z. Hardaway, B.S.M.E., 1940, University of Iowa; Southern
Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1940-42; Bell Telephone
Laboratories, 1942 — . He was first engaged in military equipment design
work on airborne and submarine radar and navigational equipment. He
is currently directing systems engineering studies which involve basic
design concepts of the outside plant exchange cable network and which
have important interfaces with transmission and switching equipment.
Also, he is involved in the application of operations analysis techniques
to the Associated Companies' operating and engineering problems.

Herwig Kogelnik, Dipl.-Ing., 1955, Dr. techn., 1958, Technische
Hoschschule Wien, Austria; D.Phil., 1960, Oxford University, England;
Bell Telephone Laboratories, 1961 — . He is engaged in optical maser re-
search. Member, American Physical Society, IEEE, Elektrotechnischer
Verein Osterreichs (Austria).

Irwin W. Sandberg, B.E.E., 1955, M.E.E., 1956, and D.E.E., 1958,
Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn; Bell Telephone Laboratories, 1958 — .
He has been concerned with analysis of military systems, particularly
radar systems, and with synthesis and analysis of active and time-
varying networks. He is currently involved in a study of the signal-
theoretic properties of nonlinear systems. Member, IEEE, SIAM, Eta
Kappa Nu, Sigma Xi and Tau Beta Pi.

R. A. Semplak, B.S., 1961, Monmouth College; Bell Telephone Lab-
oratories, 1955 — . He has been engaged in beyond-the-horizon radio
propagation and three satellite communications projects: Project Echo,
Telstar I and Telstar II. He has also participated in studies of the ef-
fects of rain on sky noise temperatures at 6-gc frequency and has re-
cently completed an experimental study of the near-field Cassegrainian
antenna. He is currently engaged in measuring the scattered radiation
from various surfaces at 0.6-micron wavelength.
